Successful applicants will join an exciting research project that aims to understand how cool temperatures, such as experienced during torpor, affect the cellular circadian clock. The circadian clock is a fundamental cellular timekeeper that impacts on most aspects of the physiology of cells and organisms. This BBSRC-funded project builds on recent findings from our labs that identified a novel link between extreme cooling and the circadian clock. We aim to exploit these insights to unravel the molecular mechanisms that underpin the rhythmic expression of circadian core clock genes
Requirements:
Knowledge and experience of circadian biology; Previous work with mouse models; Holds a DPhil or equivalent; Capacity to plan and execute research programs; Ability to present and write research articles; Work within a team to deliver in a timely fashion
