We have an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join our fantastic group of scientists here at the Division of Structural Biology, Nuffield Department of Medicine. You will be working in Professor Jones' and Professor Tzima's groups at the Division of Structural Biology, working closely to investigate the role of cell guidance receptors in mechanotransduction. These groups work in the area of mechanotransduction, fluidics, and biophysical studies to characterise novel molecular assemblies. The laboratories are at the cutting edge of developments in production of samples for structural biology using mammalian cell-based expression systems as well as cell-based and in vivo models of mechanotransduction.

As Postdoctoral Research Scientist, you will be responsible for managing your own academic research activities. This involves small scale project management to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work and meet deadlines.

You will be acting as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques.

It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in a relevant subject along with experience in mammalian (preferably endothelial) cell culture; shear stress application models; tensional force assays; confocal imaging; western blotting. You will have research experience in cell-based assays and in production of samples for structure/function studies. You will also be able to manage the day-to-day running of a research project including assisting the work of junior researchers. Finally, you will have Good communication skills, including the ability to present work at international symposia and to non-specialist audiences.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.
