Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral research associate to join the the Mechanisms of Health and Disease Research Group led by Professor Chery Miller. The Mechanisms of Health and Disease Research Group undertakes leading research into advanced biomaterials and medical devices, making scientific and technical advances to restore the form and function of the body. The research group is focused on researching bioengineering /regenerative medicine approaches to reconstruct/repair/regenerate musculoskeletal tissues for maxillofacial and orthopaedic indications.

You will work on an MRC IAA and Women Academic Returners’ Programme funded project which aims to develop a dual action bone regeneration paste with osteoconductive and antimicrobial properties. You will be required to conduct antimicrobial and biocompatibility testing on a range of pastes and to develop an ex vivo bone infection model.

You will hold a PhD in a relevant subject area, or have equivalent experience and knowledge of the biology of musculoskeletal tissues, ideally bone. Experience of immunohistochemical and histological techniques and knowledge of calcium phosphate biomaterials (e.g. hydroxyapatite) and appropriate materials characterisation would be beneficial.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.

The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
