Primary Cilia Melanocyte Development and Melanoma

We are looking for a highly motivated and creative individual to join us as a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) within the group of Dr Richard Mort in the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences at Lancaster University.

This MRC funded position is part of a collaboration between the Mort and Shih groups at Lancaster University and Prof. Pleasantine Mill at the University of Edinburgh. The position will join a team of researchers based in Lancaster and Edinburgh.

Our groups are interested in the primary cilium, development, tissue homeostasis and cancer with a focus on skin and the melanocyte lineage. We use live imaging and biosensors of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression combined with mathematical modelling and bioinformatic approaches (e.g. doi: 10.1038/ncomms10288, doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2018.10.027..
