The Role

The post is a full-time (35 hours per week) and fixed term appointment for 12 months (with possibility of renewal).

About You

We are looking for a candidate with knowledge and technical expertise in in vivo models of inflammation (e.g. stroke, ischaemia reperfusion injury), cellular techniques (immune cell isolation, cell culture), flow cytometry, immune cell assays and methodologies (e.g. microfluidics), coupled with relevant analytical methods. An active Home Office personal licence (PIL) would be desirable, and programming skills (e.g. R, Python) would be useful. The successful candidate requires a PhD degree in a biological or medical, discipline, with a good track record in publishing their work in leading journals using some of the methods and skills listed above.
