Postdoctoral Researcher in Blood Cancer

We are seeking a talented and motivated researcher to join the Mead Group to contribute to a major research programme, focused on understanding and preventing disease progression in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).

You will take a lead role in conducting wet lab experimentation, applying state-of-the-art single-cell multiomic approaches, including transcriptomic, genetic, and DNA methylation analyses to patient-derived samples and disease models. Working closely with a dynamic and multidisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists, they will help generate and interpret high-resolution datasets that reveal new insights into disease progression, with the ultimate aim of identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This is a unique opportunity to work at the cutting edge of translational haematology, supported by world-class facilities, access to deeply phenotyped clinical cohorts, and a strong collaborative network.

You will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil, together with relevant knowledge in normal and malignant haematopoiesis research.  Experience generating single cell genomics data, previous experience of contributing to high-impact publications/presentations and the ability to manage your own academic research and associated activities are essential.

The post is available fixed-term until 31 December, 2027, funded by Ludwig Cancer Research.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
