Postdoctoral Research Associate

That is an thrilling alternative to affix a analysis group working to develop new therapies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This full-time PDRA funded by the Macular Society will examine the potential of focusing on senescent cells throughout the choriocapillaris to cease the development of dry AMD. We’ll increase the scientific data surrounding the molecular biology of cell ageing inside blood cells within the choriocapillaris throughout dry AMD, to in the end establish new therapies. To attain this, you’ll carry analysis technical abilities related to mobile senescence and/or vascular biology, and show data and consciousness of current advances in AMD. You’ll be becoming a member of the analysis staff of Professor Reinhold Medina on the Division of Eye and Imaginative and prescient Science within the Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences.

You’ll have a PhD (or be about to acquire) in areas related to this put up (e.g. cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, and associated).

This put up is obtainable from 1 April 2024 till 31 March 2026.

Any candidates who’re nonetheless awaiting their PhD to be awarded needs to be conscious that if profitable, they are going to be appointed at grade 6, backbone level 30.  Upon written affirmation that they’ve been profitable in being awarded their PhD, they are going to be moved onto grade 7, backbone level 31 from the date of their award.
