Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

THE GROUP

We are seeking a highly motivated cell biologist to join Dr. Naomi McGovern's laboratory. The lab works on human mononuclear phagocytes and how their properties are regulated by the local microenvironment. We study these cells in a range of settings including the maternal-fetal interface, inflamed joints and cancer.

Details of research projects currently being undertaken in the McGovern lab can be seen at:

We seek a talented, productive and motivated postdoc with a desire to work in a congenial, dynamic and collaborative research team.

PROJECT SUMMARY

The group is interested in studying mononuclear phagocyte biology in diverse settings. The project is funded by the UKRI and will investigate how the properties of macrophages are regulated by their local microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface.

You will work on primary tissues macrophages, iPSCs and organoid systems. Techniques you will use include multiparameter FACS, scRNAseq and confocal microscopy.

PERSON SPECIFICATION

The post holder should embody and demonstrate our core values: Bold, Open, and Collegial, in addition to the following:

Essential:

  • PhD in immunology, molecular or cellular biology or in the final stages of PhD submission
