Applications are invited for this postdoctoral position, as part of a project funded by the PetPlan Charitable Trust, which will aim to identify novel biomarkers of kidney disease in cats. Early diagnosis of kidney disease in cats is currently hampered by the late onset of symptoms and a lack of reliable non-invasive diagnostic tests, therefore this project will investigate if miRNAs within urinary extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be used as non-invasive biomarkers for chronic kidney disease in cats. Study of changes in the miRNA content of urinary EVs may also provide insights into the pathophysiology underlying chronic kidney disease in cats that might in turn lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies that can delay the onset and progression of kidney disease.

The applicant will work alongside Dr Tim Williams and Professor Fiona Karet, both of which have a proven track record in EV research, and Dr Andrew Grant and Dr Xiaonan Wang (Shanghai University), who have extensive experience in transcriptome analysis, including bioinformatics. The main focus of the research led by Dr Williams is to study the biology of EVs and investigate their utility as a source of biomarkers of renal and urinary tract diseases in humans and mammals. Further information about the work of the group can be found at https://www.vet.cam.ac.uk/directory/tlw27 Applicants should have a PhD, in Molecular Biology or a related discipline, and ideally have experience in quantitative molecular biology. Expertise in bioinformatics is essential and previous research experience with extracellular vesicles is desirable but not essential. The candidate must value teamwork and collaboration, have good administrative and interpersonal skills, and high computer literacy especially in relation to the analysis of DNA sequences and the use of bioinformatics software.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 36 months in the first instance.

The Transmissible Cancer Group at the University of Cambridge, Department of Veterinary Medicine, is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant to join a dynamic team studying the evolution and host interactions of transmissible cancers in dogs and Tasmanian devils. This is a fixed-term 3-year position supported by a Wellcome research grant. This post is expected to start on 3rd October 2023 but there is some flexibility for an earlier or later start date.

Transmissible cancers are long-lived clonal lineages of malignant cells that operate as infectious parasites, spreading between individuals by the physical transfer of living cancer cells. Among mammals, such diseases have been described in only two species: dogs and Tasmanian devils, and are spread by mating and biting, respectively. These extraordinary cell lineages provide an opportunity to study cancer evolution over the long-term, and to investigate the interaction between cancer cells and the allogeneic immune system. Furthering our knowledge of these diseases may also shed light on their transmission dynamics and inform conservation work.

This position is suited for someone with skills in computational biology and an interest in cancer evolution and tumour immunology. The role-holder will analyse genome and transcriptome data from tumours belonging to transmissible cancer lineages. We will annotate genetic variants and use these to understand past and ongoing mutational and evolutionary processes, including the impact of mutation on gene expression and tumour phenotypes. Using RNA sequence deconvolution, we will seek to understand the contribution of host cells to the tumour microenvironment. By integrating data from hundreds of tumours, our goal will be to understand how cancers exploit a transmissible niche, and how the interaction between cancer and immune system controls disease outcome.

Applicants should hold a Master's degree in genetics, evolutionary biology or a related discipline, and experience in genome analysis is preferable. The candidate must value teamwork and collaboration, have good organisational and interpersonal skills, and should be able to effectively manage their time. They will have the opportunity to make their own original contribution to the field of study within the framework of the project. It may be possible for the role-holder to register as a PhD student.

More information about the Transmissible Cancer Group can be found on our website at www.tcg.vet.cam.ac.uk, and information about the Department of Veterinary Medicine can be found at www.vet.cam.ac.uk.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Prof Elizabeth Murchison (epm27@cam.ac.uk), and enquiries about the application process should be directed to Julie Ingham (ji217@cam.ac.uk). Further particulars for the role can be accessed at www.vet.cam.ac.uk.
