Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research, School of Biological Sciences
This appointment is full-time, fixed-term for 3 years Grade 6 – £27,183 to £29,704 per annum
We require a talented Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a British Heart Foundation funded study investigating the mechanisms that control platelet function in haemostasis and thrombosis. This project, that will involve the use of a wide range of cell biology and molecular approaches, will contribute to the development of new means to prevent thrombosis.
You will need scientific and practical expertise and the energy and skill to drive this project forward in a busy research laboratory. Although experience of platelet biology is desirable, the ability to work independently to produce high quality data is of greater importance. As well as being a professional, organised and enthusiastic Scientist it is important that you can work as a member of the team to support other aspects of the work of the laboratory.
You will have:
• a PhD in a relevant area of biology
• previous research laboratory experience
• technical excellence and the ability to learn quickly
• the ability to produce high quality experimental data
• good communication and teamwork skills
• you will be well organised and enthusiastic
Applications are particularly invited from candidates with previous experience of platelet/cardiovascular biology, cell biology and cell signalling.
