AResearch Associate in Cell & Developmental Biology or Biomechanics is sought to contribute to an interdisciplinary project investigating how tissues respond to mechanical force. The post will be based in the Woolner Lab, Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell-Matrix Research, Faculty of Biology, Medicine & Health and will work closely with collaborators in the Faculty of Science & Engineering.

The successful candidate will use established techniques to apply reproducible mechanical force to live tissues and determine cellular response.
