Research Fellow - closing date 30/07/2024

We are seeking to appoint a highly enthusiastic postdoctoral research fellow to join a large national programme on establishing a UK platform for Nucleic Acid Therapeutics for rare disease (UPNAT Node), supported by the UKRI MRC and NIHR. The role offers the appointed individual a unique opportunity to develop a strategic framework to identify rare disease-associated variants amendable to NATs. The research fellow will be mentored by a diverse range of expert researchers, clinician scientists and bioinformaticians, alongside benefiting part of a rich collaborative network. The research fellow will also get the opportunity to develop pre-clinical NAT targets using a broad range of molecular and cell biology-based approaches. The postdoctoral research fellow will be responsible for conducting experiments on executing genetic data analysis with investigators and databases associated with UPNAT, and testing NATs designed for the targets selected by the Target Selection Working Group in the Node. The post will be allocated in the Zhou lab at the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (GOSICH), full time for 2 years with possibility of extension.
