**Research Fellow in Brain Cancer Research**:
**Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in cellular and molecular biology of brain cancer. Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?**

Applications are invited for a Cancer Research UK funded Research Fellow to join an interdisciplinary team focusing on the effects of signal transduction in cells which are derived from brain cancer patients. Our work in this area has recently revealed a sigalling pathway that drives drug resistance in brain tumours. This pathway includes an important protein which is likely to be a potential target for therapeutic intervention, and or biomarker for post-surgery tumour growth. Furthermore, perturbation of this signalling through modulation of the expression levels of proteins involved can lead to pathological outcomes.

You will be based in the laboratory of Professor John Ladbury at the University of Leeds and will work with the other members of his group. This work will be performed in close collaboration with Dr. Lucy Stead at the St. James’ Hospital.

You should have a PhD (or be close to completion) in biochemistry, cell biology or a closely allied discipline. You should have demonstrable experience in cellular imaging, working in basic and clinical research environments and show ability in working in the interface between these two fields. Clear evidence of working with clinicans is important. Experience in pathology would be an advantage.

Professor John Ladbury, Professor of Mechanistic Biology
