Postdoctoral researcher - A conditional approach to probing ATR function Centre for Chromosome Biology Biochemistry, School of Natural Sciences Ref. No. NUIG-19-14 Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time fixed term position as a Postdoctoral Researcher within Centre for Chromosome Biology at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Funding is from the Association for International Cancer Research and is available from 2014 for up to 36 months, subject to a 12 month probationary period. This postdoctoral position is available within the Genome Stability Laboratory (http://www.chromosome.ie/researchers/lowndes/) a constituent laboratory of the Centre for Chromosome Biology (http://www.chromosome.ie/) at the National University of Ireland Galway. The successful applicant will utilise biochemical and genetic approaches to understand the function and mechanism of action of the ATR protein kinase during cellular proliferation. See Eykelenboom et al (Cell Reports 2013 5(4): 1095-1107) for a relevant, recent publication. Additionally, the successful applicant will develop projects to characterise the biological function and mechanism of action of newly identifying ATR interacting proteins. The CCB is composed of 11 independent laboratories hosting over 50 researchers, while NUI Galway boasts an active, vibrant student life with over 17,000 students and postdoctoral researchers from around the world.
