Postdoctoral Research Assistant

1 day ago


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

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work under the direct supervision of Dr Paul Holloway at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine. The Holloway group focuses on developing new models of cerebrovascular disease, combining microfluidic techniques and iPSC technologies to provide insights into pathomechanisms in stroke and cerebral small vessel disease.

About the Project

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 is essential. Expertise in iPSC cell culture and differentiation, along with experience with using and developing microfluidic and organ on chip techniques is highly desirable.
