Research Associate - Miska Group (Fixed Term)

The research team of Professor Eric Miska is recruiting a postdoctoral associate in the area of RNA biology. We are an international, supportive and collaborative research group. Most of our ongoing research projects fall under one of these broader themes: RNA modifications and structure; Small-and non-coding RNA biology; RNA in communication and defense; Genomics, epigenomics, and Inheritance; Adaptive plasticity and evolution. Our projects span miRNA biology and pathology, miRNA mechanisms, piRNA biology and the germline, endo-siRNAs in epigenetic inheritance and environmental conditioning, small RNA evolution, and the role of RNAi in host pathogen interactions. We are part of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge and are affiliated with the Gurdon Institute and the Wellcome Sanger Institute.
