Post doc in human lung development, Gurdon Institute, Cambridge
Posted by Emma Rawlins, on 24 May 2017
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research assistant/associate to join the group of Dr Emma Rawlins at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge to work on the regulation of human lung development with the long-term aim of developing strategies for regenerative medicine (http://www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/research/rawlins). Our recent research has focused on cellular mechanisms of lung development, homeostasis and repair using the mouse as a model system (e.g. Balasooriya et al., Dev Cell 2016; Laresgoiti et al., Development 2016; Watson et al., Cell Reports 2015). We have now established novel in vitro systems for studying human lung development which will be the primary focus of our work over the next few years. We aim to recruit an outstanding individual who is interested in lung developmental mechanisms, their contribution to disease development and therapeutic potential. The research will combine the application of single cell techniques to human embryonic lungs with the in vitro genetic analysis of mechanisms using our organoid system.
Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant subject, or be close to completion of their degree. Expertise in general areas of developmental/stem cell biology including single cell biology, live cell imaging, image analysis and cell signalling mechanisms would be suitable for these positions. Experience of in vitro models and use of experimental animals would be an advantage.
Salary: £29,301-£38,183
