Job Purpose The post holder will be based at the Cancer Research UK-Scotland Institute (CRUK-SI) in Glasgow , working with Principal Investigator, Dr Stephen Carter, and in collaboration with Prof. Martin Bushell at the CRUK-SI. CRUK-SI is one of the world's leading cancer research centres. It supports cutting edge discovery research into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. This ambitious project is funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF), initially for 18 months with a potential for a three year extension, and focuses on investigating the architecture of PML bodies and other nuclear condensates. We are looking to recruit a structural or cellular biologist to develop and apply ultrastructural methodologies at the heart of this project using cryo electron tomography (cryo ET) combined with cryogenic correlated light and electron microscopy (cryo CLEM) and cryo focused ion beam (cryo FIB) milling. This programme will involve state of the art imaging approaches to visualise molecular details of the intricate relationships between chromatin and nuclear condensates. The successful candidate will be trained in how to apply cryo ET coupled with fluorescence to map key functional proteins and contribute to the study of the molecular mechanisms governing the assembly, composition and function of PML bodies and other nuclear condensates. The ideal candidate will have experience in molecular biology, cryo EM sample preparation techniques, processing skills of cryo tomograms, and be self motivated in designing and executing cryo ET experiments. The Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute has access to instrumentation in the Scottish Centre for Macromolecular Imaging (SCMI) , such as the JEOL CRYO ARM 300 electron microscope, Leica EM GP2, a cryo FIB instrument with a Quorum transfer stage, and the Leica THUNDER Imager EM cryo CLEM microscope. This technology will allow the candidate to develop their skills to target events that happen deep in the cell so we can see more of the molecular mechanisms that drive the formation, maintenance and disruption of PML bodies and other nuclear condensates.
