Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join our team at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Paul Holloway, focusing on developing new models of cerebrovascular disease using microfluidic techniques and iPSC technologies.

This project is a collaboration between the Holloway lab and the lab of Dr. Alessandra Granata (University of Cambridge). The post holder will work on a project using patient-derived iPSCs to explore the role of pericytes, astrocytes, and endothelial cells in contributing to barrier dysfunction and extracellular matrix disruption in monogenic forms of cerebral small vessel disease.

About You

You will require a relevant DPhil or be within 1 month of submission. Knowledge and experience with mammalian cell culture and basic molecular biology techniques, including qPCR and immunocytochemistry, are essential. Expertise in iPSC cell culture and differentiation, along with experience with using and developing microfluidic and organ-on-chip techniques, is highly desirable.

A proven track record of contributing to publications and presentations, along with the ability to generate new research ideas and secure funding, is essential. Excellent communication skills, including writing for publication and presenting research proposals and results, are also required.
