An experienced and highly motivated Postdoctoral scientist is being sought to join Dr. Chris Watson's research group based in the Centre for Experimental Medicine. The recruited Postdoctoral scientist will undertake a senior role within a British Heart Foundation funded study focused on identifying the disease relevance of a protein called tetranectin in the context of cardiac remodelling and fibrosis. This study will also validate the clinical utility of tetranectin as a diagnostic biomarker for heart failure, and investigate the potential of targeting tetranectin as a therapeutic strategy.This research will include the use of both vitro and in vivo models of cardiac remodelling and fibrosis, and the analysis of human cardiac tissue and plasma samples derived from patients with heart failure.
Applications are invited from enthusiastic, motivated and efficient individuals with a strong commitment to research. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated background in cardiovascular disease, or closely related fields in biomedicine with an excellent PhD degree awarded. The candidate should be committed to developing a dynamic, academic career in science and have excellent communication skills in written and spoken English.
We offer scientific development opportunities in an international and interdisciplinary environment and support our postdoctoral fellows with a Centre-based mentoring program to support career development.
