The successful candidate will engage in cutting-edge research projects, collaborate with leading experts, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in crystalluria. We have links with The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospital groups and with large groups based in the prestigious Bernal Institute in Ireland. This project will involve visits to these collaborators.
