Our research is aimed at characterizing the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in epithelial and neuronal polarity remodeling during development.&nbsp; <br \/>\n\tThis position is to focus on the problem of polarized axon growth in vivo, a process that is absolutely required alongside neuronal migration to enable neural function and neural circuit formation respectively. We have recently developed a new high throughput, in vivo assay using Drosophila to study neuronal migration and axon growth on a genome-wide scale. We have also already identified several candidate factors involved in these processes in vivo. The proposed work will involved a genome-wide screening using RNAi in vivo, as well as a number of candidate approaches. The candidate will also be involved in setting up state of the art imaging approaches such as super-resolution microscopy (OMX &amp; STED) together with 3D-view electron microscopy applied to studying polarized axon growth during development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This position is a 3 years MRC funded Career Development Fellowship (CDF) available in our group. Applications including a cover letter, CV and contact details of at least 2 referees should be sent to <a href=\"mailto:f.pichaud@ucl.ac.uk\">f.pichaud@ucl.ac.uk<\/a>.&nbsp; Successful candidates will be expected to be internationally competitive, including having published at least one peer <br \/>\n\treviewed publication as first author. Previous experience in Drosophila genetics would be advantageous but is not absolutely required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology Cell Biology Unit, University College London, UK Postdoctoral Position in the group of Dr. Franck Pichaud Cell Polarity &amp; Morphogenesis http:\/\/www.pichaudlab.org Cell polarity is a widespread feature of living organisms that is crucial to enable organogenesis, directed cell migration and neural circuit formation to name just a few examples.
