Purpose of the Role
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.
Responsibilities
The main duties of this position will encompass pursuing research objectives, developing collaborative projects, and writing up research for presentations and publication. Techniques will include multiple imaging approaches (live timelapse imaging, high‑resolution whole‑mount immunohistochemistry and in situ HCR), single‑cell platforms, in vivo murine development and general molecular‑biology techniques.
About You
The successful candidate will have a PhD (or be close to completing one), a strong background in cell and molecular biology, and a good publication record. The candidate must be highly motivated, possess excellent communication and organisational skills, and be able to work independently as well as in a team. Prior experience in cardiovascular biology, mammalian embryology and computational biology is highly desirable.
Appointment and Funding
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 is awarded.
Fixed‑term: the funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
