About this role

Full-Time: 35 hours per week

Fixed-Term: 12 months

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoc candidate to join the Swaffer lab and lead a major project addressing how cell size impacts cancer cell biology. While the significance of cell size for cellular physiology has been appreciated for many decades, we still have a surprisingly poor understanding of the mechanisms that couple the inner molecular workings of the cell to its size. Using mammalian cell lines as model systems, this project will take advantage of the quantitative and interdisciplinary expertise of the Swaffer lab to build on recent breakthrough discoveries regarding how transcription and cell size are coupled (Swaffer et al., Cell 2023).
