Really thrilled to see our work out in the recent issue of @CellCellPress! A huge thanks to everyone involved @JanSkotheim @georgimarinov @lab_reyes @WJGreenleaf @anshulkundaje and the many more not on Twitter. (1/9)
In the latest issue! RNA polymerase II dynamics and mRNA stability feedback scale mRNA amounts with cell size dlvr.it/SzDwpl

📢 calling prospective postdocs! Only a few days left to apply to join our growing group in the beautiful city of Edinburgh to lead an exciting project focused on how gene expression, RNA metabolism and cell signalling are all coordinated with changes in cell size.
We’re hiring! We have Wellcome-funded postdoc positions to join my group. The project will build on recent work on transcriptional cell size scaling (Swaffer et al. Cell 2023) to ask how gene expression, RNA metabolism and cell signalling are all coordinated with cell size (1/3)

It's an opportunity to lead an ambitious and interdisciplinary project that will take advantage of cutting-edge quantitative techniques in cell & molecular biology. The project is also supported by the amazing core facilities at the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology (2/3)
