Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

Full time: 35 hours per week

Fixed term: Until 31/10/2025

The opportunity:

A short-term post-doctoral research assistant required to help complete a manuscript describing the role of ER-phagy in initiation of pancreatic cancer. This will involve analysis of mouse models deficient in ER-phagy, human tissues, spatial transcriptomic datasets and manipulation of animals using AAV. Note the role is to specifically complete this study and is a fixed project. Thus prior experience of the technique and subject areas would be very helpful.

Overall, the work will contribute to a larger, high-quality program of research designed to address the mechanisms and functions of ER-phagy, hosted within a dynamic laboratory at the forefront of this field.
