Apply to: [email protected] with a detailed CV which includes the date of birth, recent
photograph, contact phone number, past research experience (detailed), one-page SoP, and
the names and contact details of at least two referees. Incomplete applications or those that do not meet the minimum criteria will not be considered. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted over e-mail with interview dates. Posts will be kept open until it is filled by a suitable candidate.
Description of research in the laboratory: We are working towards discovering the link
between mitochondrial membrane protein import, membrane protein folding, protein stability and function. We combine ultrafast kinetics and spectroscopic measurements with single-channel electrophysiology and cell survival assays to obtain a complete understanding of metastasis and mitochondrial bioenergetics. We link mitochondrial dysregulation with the onset of debilitating pathologies including Parkinson’s disease, other neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
