Research Opportunity

We are seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our laboratory at Lancaster University, UK. This project, funded by the BBSRC, aims to investigate heat shock signalling and response in African trypanosomes using a combination of genetic and proteomic techniques.

Lancaster University is a world-class institution with a strong reputation for excellence in teaching and research. Our Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences is a rapidly growing and innovative environment that conducts research on basic cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying disease states.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be part of a small, dedicated team working in a well-equipped laboratory space with facilities including Biohazard Category 2 and 3 laboratories. You will have the opportunity to work with a range of techniques, including molecular biology, cell culture, and data analysis.

Key requirements for this role include a PhD in Biochemistry or a related subject, and a strong background in trypanosome cell biology or quantitative proteomics. Experience of working with African trypanosomes, RNA, and proteomic techniques would be an advantage, although training will be provided.

Lancaster University is committed to supporting the individual needs of each employee and promoting a healthy work-life balance. We are a family-friendly and flexible employer, and have held a Silver Athena SWAN award since 2014 in recognition of our good employment practice.
