Applications are invited for a 2-year Post-Doctoral Research Associate position to join an international team in the Department of Genetics in central Cambridge. The project is led by Ben Steventon and is aimed towards understanding how alterations in tissue geometry and tissue extrinsic mechanical forces can alter early tissue morphogenesis during embryonic development.

We are looking for a highly motivated and well-organised person, with a PhD in Bioengineering, Biophysics or a related discipline, ideally with experience in either microfluidic methods, hydrogels for 2D/3D cell culture, or micromechanics of biological tissues. Excellent organisational skills and the desire to work as part of an inter-disciplinary team is essential.

Specific experience we are looking for is:

- Engineered hydrogels for tissue culture;
- Mechanobiology.

Training opportunities as part of the research project are:

- Cell culture and generation of embryonic organoids;
- Confocal and live cell imaging.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
