The successful candidate will play a key role in creating a unique functional genomics resource for the Drosophila community and will gain extensive experience in state-of-the-art genome engineering, transgenesis, chromatin profiling, and large-scale resource generation. The project offers excellent opportunities for publication, collaboration, and development of leadership skills valuable in both academia and biotechnology. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The main tasks will include cloning of transgenesis constructs and generation and validation of transgenic flies (injections, crosses). Additionally, the postdoc will perform basic characterisation of select fly lines using immunostaining and CUT&RUN. They will oversee the main lab work and collaborate closely with the other team members (two technicians and two research fellows). <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>An ideal candidate would already have experience with Drosophila genetics and fly transgenesis. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The annual salary is £36,636 (rising to £39,906), and the start date is as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please send any informal inquiries and questions to Korneel Hens (<a href="mailto:khens@brookes.ac.uk">khens@brookes.ac.uk</a>) or Sebastian Kittelmann (<a href="mailto:skittelmann@brookes.ac.uk">skittelmann@brookes.ac.uk</a>) and see <a href="https://my.corehr.com/pls/oburecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=193486">https://my.corehr.com/pls/oburecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=193486</a> for further information and application instructions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Korneel and Sebastian<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>-- <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Dr. Sebastian Kittelmann<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><img border=0 width=287 height=26 style='width:2.9895in;height:.2708in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01DD07E9.01DC92B0"><span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Oxford Brookes University<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Gipsy Lane<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Oxford, OX3 0BP<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>UK<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><a href="mailto:skittelmann@brookes.ac.uk"><span style='color:black'>skittelmann@brookes.ac.uk</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>+44 (0)1865 </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>603657<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>@sebkittelmann.bsky.social</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:black;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
