Postdoctoral Researcher in Myeloid Neoplasms (MPNs) and Blast Phase MPN

Location: MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, MRC Molecular Haematology Unit, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DS

We are seeking a talented and motivated researcher to join the Mead Group to contribute to a major research programme focused on characterisation of in vivo models of myeloid neoplasms and correlating findings with analysis of patient material. 

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. 

You will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil, together with relevant knowledge in normal and malignant hematopoiesis research, including in vivo models. 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 Cancer Research UK.
