Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Role

We are looking to appoint a talented post-doctoral researcher to work on an exciting new regenerative medicine project.  In this project we will evaluate the effectiveness of using a physiological matrix scaffold created by organ decellularisation to support the differentiation of stem cells into insulin-producing beta cells.  This collaborative 3 year project is funded by Diabetes UK and is based in the research groups of Dr Natasha Hill at Kingston University and Dr Aileen King at Kings College London (Guys Campus).

The Person

The project will involve stem cell culture and differentiation, pancreas decellularisation, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, methods to evaluate dynamic insulin release and calcium flux, and in vivo evaluation of beta cell function.  Candidates with a relevant PhD degree, ideally with experience in stem cell differentiation or organ decellularisation, and who are interested in developing new treatments for people with diabetes are particularly encouraged to apply.

Further information

Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Where required this may include entry clearance or continued leave to remain under the Points Based Immigration Scheme.
