Key Details
About the role
We are seeking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher who will continue and expand our work in the area of translational myeloid leukaemia epigenetics, therapeutics and gene regulation.
The programme of work will be focused on understanding how critical transcription factors involved in acute myeloid leukaemia recruit essential co-activators and/or co-repressors to chromatin and whether these recruitment domains can be targeted for therapeutic benefit, as has been the case, for example, with menin inhibition in AML.
About you
You should have a PhD in a biomedical discipline. A background in leukaemia research and/or chromatin & epigenetics is desirable but not essential.
