Postdoctoral Research Associate in Stem Cell and Developmental Biology – Grade 7

A full-time Postdoctoral place in quantitative stem cell and developmental biology is out there within the Liverpool Growth and Stem Cell Biology Laboratory, headed by Dr David Turner within the Division of Musculoskeletal and Ageing Science on the College of Liverpool. Our lab’s pursuits lie in taking quantitative fastened and live-cell approaches to know cell decision-making processes throughout early growth utilizing cutting-edge in vitro mannequin techniques, corresponding to 3D Gastruloids. Gastruloids are aggregates of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) generated in non-adherent tradition, that are in a position to successfully recapitulate most of the processes of early mammalian growth corresponding to symmetry-breaking, polarisation, gastrulation-like actions and the event of the three embryonic axes.

This thrilling, multidisciplinary venture goals to know how glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) regulate organic operate, utilizing gastruloids as an experimental mannequin. It’s best to have a PhD in stem cells/developmental biology or associated self-discipline. Experience in cell tradition and fluorescence microscopy is important.

This publish is out there from 1 April 2024 till 1 January 2029.

Any candidates who’re nonetheless awaiting their PhD to be awarded must 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.
