Applications are invited for an MRC-funded Postdoctoral Research Associate position to join the laboratory of Dr. Tom Nightingale within the Centre for Microvascular Research. This is a unique opportunity for enthusiastic early-career researchers to contribute to an established team that has made significant scientific impacts, particularly in understanding the cell biology of endothelial cell secretion and its role in haemostasis and inflammation.
Building on findings from the PI (e.g., El-Mansi et al., Blood, 2023; El-Mansi et al., Blood Advances, 2024), the project employs high-resolution microscopy, biochemical assays, and molecular cell biology techniques both in vitro and in vivo to explore how cellular senescence pathways affect regulated endothelial secretion. This research has important implications for understanding the increased inflammatory and haemostatic responses observed in aging individuals.
We seek outstanding, self-motivated, and ambitious junior researchers committed to a scientific career. Candidates should have a PhD (or be close to completion) in cell biology and biochemistry. Experience in vascular biology, advanced microscopy, molecular biology, and intracellular trafficking in vitro and in vivo is desirable.
The Centre for Microvascular Research at Queen Mary University of London, located at the Charterhouse Square Campus, offers state-of-the-art laboratories and microscopy facilities. The campus is situated in the heart of the City of London, near cultural landmarks such as the Barbican Art and Music Centre and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Queen Mary University of London values diversity and inclusion, fostering social justice and academic excellence. We offer a full-time, fixed-term position for three years, with a starting salary between £38,419 and £44,288 per annum, inclusive of the London Allowance.
Benefits include competitive salaries, a generous pension scheme, 30 days of leave per year (pro-rata), season ticket loans, and various personal and professional development opportunities. We promote flexible working arrangements and an inclusive environment. Reasonable adjustments are available for applicants with disabilities.
