Research Fellow

We are looking for an ambitious, motivated post-doctoral scientist to contribute to a cutting-edge research program investigating a novel genetic risk factor for human heart failure. This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of translational cardiovascular research, combining human genetic discoveries with experiments conducted in state-of-the-art cellular and mouse models.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of clinicians and translational scientists (Watson/Lockhart/Grieve/Margariti) as part of a British Heart Foundation-funded project. We seek applicants with prior experience in murine phenotyping who are proactive, team-oriented, and eager to apply diverse experimental approaches to advance our understanding of cardiac health. Strong interpersonal skills and a passion for collaborative research are essential.

This position is ideal for a scientist excited by cross-disciplinary approaches and driven to make a meaningful impact in cardiovascular research.

Applications are invited from highly motivated, efficient and organised individuals with a strong commitment to research and collaborative science. The successful candidate will have a strong background in in vivo murine phenotyping and will be seeking to lead an ambitious cutting-edge research project in a well-supported environment.

About the person:

The successful candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate that you meet the following criteria:

• Have or be about to receive* (laboratory work complete) a PhD in molecular biology, cell biology, pharmacology or a related area of biomedicine (*must be obtained within 3 months of commencement of employment).
• Have substantial relevant recent experience in in vivo murine phenotyping.
• Have extensive, recent, hands-on experience of using at least 3 standard molecular biology techniques (such as, but not limited to Western blotting, Real-Time PCR, histopathology etc) to answer biological questions in cell and mouse models.
• Have experience teaching/supervising /mentoring postgraduate/undergraduate/school students and visiting researchers in the laboratory.
