We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher to join Professor Xin Lu's research group to work on the role of hypoxia signalling in tumour microenvironment regulation at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.

You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. You will participate in the Ludwig Cancer Research funded research programme led by Prof Xin Lu to study the role of hypoxia signalling in tumour microenvironment regulation, and collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and occasionally present papers and posters. You will adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols, and also test hypotheses and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining working hypotheses as appropriate. As Postdoctoral Researcher, you will supervise, advise and train junior staff in cell/molecular biology/biochemistry techniques and protocols.

It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in a life science field, together with a relevant background in cancer biology especially in the areas of p53, hypoxia, gene expression, TME or preclinical cancer models. You will have experience in using molecular and cellular biology techniques, including flow cytometry, tissue culture, confocal microscopy and time-lapse imaging and working knowledge of in vivo or ex-vivo models including organoids models. You will also have the ability to manage own academic research and associated activities.

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.
