Postdoctoral Researcher in Advanced Human Cell Models of Pain
2 weeks ago
Overview We are seeking an ambitious, hard‑working and creative Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Cader Lab at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, University of Oxford. The successful candidate will contribute to an exciting, interdisciplinary programme developing next‑generation human in‑vitro models of pain. The project aims to recreate the complex multicellular interactions that underlie chronic pain conditions such as neuropathic and osteoarthritis pain, using human iPSC‑derived sensory neurons, vascular and immune components to produce organoid systems. Responsibilities Develop and validate advanced human model systems using human iPSC‑derived sensory neurons, vascular and immune components to produce organoid systems. Apply molecular, imaging and electrophysiological methods to characterise disease‑relevant phenotypes and drug responses. Collaborate closely with academic, clinical and industry partners to ensure mechanistic insight and translational impact. Co‑supervise students, present at international meetings, and contribute to publications and grant applications. Qualifications PhD in stem cell biology, neuroscience, pain biology or a related discipline. Experience with human iPSC‑derived systems. Strong molecular, imaging, and electrophysiological skills. Collaborative mindset with ability to work across multidisciplinary teams. Excellent written and oral communication skills. Contract Details Full time, fixed‑term contract for 34 months. Salary: £39,424 – £47,779 per annum. Less experienced candidates may be appointed at Grade 6 (£35,681 – £41,636) with adjusted duties. Applications received before midday 12:00 on Friday 9 January 2026 will be considered. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter. #J-18808-Ljbffr
