Summary
Grade UE07: £40,497 - £48,149 per annum pro-rata if part-time
CMVM / Institute for Regeneration and Repair / Centre for Inflammation Research
Full-time: 35 hours per week
Fixed-term: 18 months - appointment above step 3 of Grade UE07 may necessitate a reduction of contract length due to a fixed budget.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work in a research group studying the role of senescence in cardio-renal disease.
This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns.
The Opportunity:
The candidate will work with human cell lines and tissue, as well as murine models to study the role of senescence in cardio-renal disease. Using in-house RNA sequencing datasets, the post-holder will discover common human renal and cardiac senescence biomarkers. They will also test the potential of spatial transcriptomics to measure drivers of senescence and fibrosis on a cellular level within diseased human heart tissue.
Your skills and attributes for success:
A PhD or equivalent professional qualification and/or experience in the field of biological sciences and/or bioinformatics.
Experience in bioinformatic analyses of complex datasets.
and / or
Experience of in vitro cell culture &
Experience in various techniques such as RNA extraction, immunohistochemistry, microscopy etc.
Strong planning and organising skills.
