Applications are invited from highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals, to work on an interdisciplinary project exploring the mechanisms underlying diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual with experience in the analysis of ‘omics’ datasets (including transcriptomics and epigenomics), to perform cutting-edge, clinically relevant, kidney research. The limited treatment options, increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and poor outcomes for DKD patients highlights the need to identify novel therapeutic targets, which requires a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
You will work with Dr Abigail Lay (project supervisor and PI), to identify novel, modifiable mechanistic pathways underlying DKD. The initial focus will be on identifying kidney-specific epigenetic modifications (specifically DNA methylation) which play causal roles in disease.
This position is funded by the BHF Research Accelerator (Division of Cardiovascular Sciences) and is fixed term for 12 months.
- You have, or are expected to receive, a PhD or equivalent in medicine, biological sciences or related discipline.
- You have experience working with transcriptomics, proteomics and/or epigenomics data
- You are an enthusiastic and motivated individual with a commitment to collaborative research
**What you will get in return**:
- Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
- Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
- Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
- Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
- Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
Our University is positive about flexible working - you can find out more here
