Research Fellow in Tissue Engineering
Salary / Grade Grade G (£31,607 - £36,371 p.a. pro rata
Employment type: Fixed Term Contract (10 months full time)
About the Role
Only 10% of all drugs progress from pre-clinical to clinical trials. Using human tissue produced in a 'dish' holds tremendous promise towards improving the success of drug discoveries and accelerating treatments for patients.
We are seeking a motivated post-doc Research Fellow with expertise in cell culture and Tissue Engineering.
The post, initially available for 10 months, involves developing human muscle in a 'dish' using our recently patented technology and drug testing.
All research work will be carried out without animals or animal-derived products.
You will have access to career development opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities including an advanced imaging suite with confocal, electron and atomic force microscopes.
You will work with a multidisciplinary and diverse team of postgraduate researchers.
For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly.
