Project title: Investigating global RNA homeostasis with cell size

We are seeking highly motivated candidates to join the as a research assistant to work on how cell size impacts RNA biology. We're a multi-disciplinary group that combines approaches across cell, molecular, systems & quantitative biology to study how core cellular processes are altered by cell size.

Cell size is a fundamental but poorly understood cellular property, and cells must adapt their global RNA metabolism as they grow larger to keep their internal biochemistry stable. This project will involve using yeast genetics to understand this phenomenon and build on our recent progress (). This project will involve using standard mo...
