We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the group to work in the area of mechanotransduction and fluidics to characterise the role of a novel gene in atherosclerosis development and progression.
You will become part of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine based at the Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford. You are required to hold a PhD/DPhil in a relevant discipline and will carry out independent research exploring fundamental mechanisms of mechanotransduction and its role in cardiovascular disease.
You will have proven experience in:
1. endothelial tissue cell culture,
2. molecular biology techniques including cloning, confocal imaging, and biochemical assays (SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, qPCRs),
3. fluidics systems, especially shear stress assays.
It is also essential that the applicant has published a first author publication (accepted or in press is also acceptable) that is not a review.
This is a full-time appointment on a fixed-term contract for 1 year with the possibility of extension, and you will be based at the Centre for Human Genetics, Old Road Campus, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford, OX3 7BN.
