Full-time, Fixed Term Contract until 10 September 2024
A Research Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Prof Stephen Royle in the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology, Division of Biomedical Sciences at Warwick Medical School.
The aim of this project, funded by BBSRC, is to understand the function of intracellular nanovesicles (INVs) in membrane traffic (Larocque et al., J Cell Biol 2020; Larocque et al. J Cell Biol 2021). We do cutting edge cell biology and use imaging (light and electron microscopy), biochemistry, and gene editing to understand molecular mechanisms in human cells.
You will have a good honours degree and have (or expect shortly to have) a relevant PhD, plus experience in molecular cell biology, strong scientific interest and motivation. Evidence of scientific productivity (papers or preprints) is required, as is good knowledge of the lab’s work on membrane trafficking. This is a short-term contract with the possibility of extension. It is a chance to join an exciting project with several manuscripts close to publication and an opportunity to contribute straight away.
If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£32,411). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£33,348).
