Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow

4 months ago


Exeter, United Kingdom University of Exeter Full time

This new full-time post is immediately available until 30 June 2026 on a fixed-term basis.

The post
The Faculty wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow to study the biology of pluripotency in the team of Prof Austin Smith. This European Research Council funded post is immediately available to 30 June 2026. Based in the interdisciplinary Living Systems Institute, the successful applicant will join a world-leading programme of investigations into the plasticity of the pluripotency network in different mammals. Applicants should be motivated by fundamental curiosity with a particular interest in early development and/or cell fate decision-making.

Naïve pluripotent stem cells have to date been established only from rodents and primates. Our goal is to design signalling environments for capturing naïve pluripotent stem cells from livestock and other mammals, including marsupials. Approaches will include pluripotency network resetting and somatic cell reprogramming, as well as direct derivations from livestock embryos. This post requires cell culture aptitude, experience with genetic manipulations, and knowledge of developmental signalling.

The posts will involve extensive stem cell culture experimentation including molecular reprogramming, genetic manipulation, signalling pathway manipulation, and targeted chemical and genetic screens. Transcriptomic and multimodal ‘omics analyses will be carried out in partnership with computational/bioinformatics members of the group.
