Grade 7 (£29,837 – £36,661)
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research assistant to join the laboratory of Professor Kate Storey in the Division of Cell & Developmental Biology (College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee UK) working Ｏn cell biological mechanisms that regulate vertebrate neurogenesis.
This project builds Ｏn our recent discovery of a new form cell sub-division, apical abscission, which regulates the detachment of new-born neurons from the ventricle of the neural tube.

This Wellcome Trust funded position is available for 3 years. Experience with real-time imaging, cell biological approaches and in vivo transfection would be an advantage, as would a fascination for the mechanisms underlying neurogenesis. Informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Professor Kate Storey k.g.storey@dundee.ac.uk.
