An exciting and attractive opportunity for an experienced Research Associate in Brain Cancer Research is available at the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute at Cardiff University School of Biosciences.
Join us to work on a multi-disciplinary, MRC-funded project leveraging multi-OMICS approaches, advanced non-linear optical imaging methods, and state-of-the-art in vivo and 3D in vitro models to investigate the functions of FGF receptors in protein synthesis and proteostasis for stemness and cell plasticity in glioblastoma. The project is a joint collaboration between Dr Florian Siebzehnrubl, Prof Paola Borri (both Cardiff), and Dr Julien Licchesi (Bath).
We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist with two to three years postdoctoral research experience, who is interested in working in a multi-disciplinary team using a range of cutting-edge technologies. You will have demonstrated ability to work independently, strong organisational skills, and experience in cell and molecular biology (wet lab) work as well as analysing large datasets. Prior experience with in vivo glioblastoma models is a plus.
What we offer
- Join a multi-disciplinary team of cancer and stem cell biologists, biochemists, and physicists
- 4-year full-time post
- Opportunity and support to develop your own fellowship applications
What we are looking for
- Postgraduate degree (PhD or equivalent) or similar experience
- Experience in analysis of large datasets
- Experience in cell and molecular biology
- Experience in cancer research OR neuroscience
Closing date May 1st. Please direct any enquiries to Dr Florian Siebzehnrubl fas@cardiff.ac.uk
