Description :

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in cardiac cell biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

Working on a British Heart Foundation-funded research project 'Identifying VEGFR roles in cardiac stem cell contribution to new vascular cell formation' you will work on examining the ability of cardiac stem cells to generate new blood vessel cells and tissues, and the ability to drive this potential. The project will use cells obtained from human cardiac tissue samples, which will be studied in culture to determine the effects of VEGF receptor stimulation. 

You should have completed your PhD (or be close to completion) in physiology, pharmacology, biomedical sciences or a closely-linked discipline. A strong background in cardiac or stem cell biology is essential, as is experience in some of the following techniques: magnetic/fluorescent cell isolation, RNA and/or protein isolation, real-time qPCR, Western blotting, immunocytochemistry.

The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was reawarded a Bronze award in 2017.  We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees.
