Overview
Applications are invited to join a dynamic team led by Dr Richard Tyser at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, working to understand how the mammalian heart develops. This project is funded by Wellcome and will focus on the relationship between form and function during cardiac development.
Position
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Associate to join our research group. The successful candidate will benefit from building upon novel datasets, exciting preliminary findings, and model systems. Techniques will include imaging-based approaches (e.g. live timelapse imaging), in vitro cardiac differentiation, single‑cell platforms, and general molecular biology techniques.
Responsibilities
- Pursuing research objectives, including imaging, in‑vitro cardiac differentiation, single‑cell assays, and molecular biology techniques.
- Developing individual and collaborative research projects.
- Writing up research for presentation and publication.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will have a PhD, a strong background in cell and molecular biology, and a good publication record. Essential attributes include high motivation, excellent communication and organisational skills, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Prior experience in cardiovascular biology, electrophysiology, and in‑vitro cell‑based models is highly desirable.
Other Details
Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level (Grade 5), which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.
Fixed‑term: the funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
