Post-doctoral Research Assistant
We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD level scientist experienced in wet laboratory work and data analysis associated with cell and molecular biological sciences. You will join our international team to work on an exciting project combining laboratory approaches assessing adipokine cell signaling with field-based studies with the ultimate goal of advancing treatment for horses with sepsis, with the goal of reducing consequent laminitis. The supervisors are part of a vibrant group of researchers at the Royal Veterinary College and University of Melbourne working to understand the pathophysiology of cardiovascular and renal biology from the molecular to the whole animal level. The laboratory work will be based on the RVC’s Camden Town campus. The project also involves collaboration with veterinary practices in the UK and Australia and analysis of samples and data collected from field cases of equine sepsis. Data from the laboratory and field components of the project will be integrated. Training will be provided in epidemiological risk factor analysis at a population level so prior knowledge of these techniques, whilst desirable, is not essential. This represents an excellent opportunity to gain new experience in science with impact.
We offer a generous reward package including:
- Competitive and attractive pension package
- Generous 30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays and concessionary days) pro-rata
- On site café and restaurant
- Free membership to the Fitness and Wellbeing Centre located on site
- Cycle to work scheme
- Free mini-bus service to and from Potters Bar station and Hawkshead Campus
- A range of family friendly policies, including adoption, maternity and paternity pay and leave
