h2. * (Ref: QMUL2498)*

Applicants are invited to apply for two Wellcome Trust funded Postdoctoral Research Assistant posts within the William Harvey Research Institute at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in London. The available positions are within the Centre for Microvascular Research, an internationally respected group with an established expertise in the field of leukocyte trafficking. The appointed researchers will aim to unravel the molecular basis of disrupted modes of leukocyte-vessel wall interactions (e.g. neutrophil reverse transmigration) in models of vascular injury and ageing. These works will be conducted under the supervision of Professor Sussan Nourshargh and will employ a multidisciplinary approach but with significant emphasis on the application of advanced imaging modalities.

The Centre is based on the Charterhouse Square Campus of the Medical School and is closely linked with other Centres on this Campus, collectively providing a broad and unique cluster of expertise in inflammation, cancer, vascular, cell and molecular biology, imaging and signalling on one site. The Centre offers newly refurbished laboratories, cutting edge imaging facilities and is located in the heart of the City of London in close proximity to the Barbican Art and Music Centre and St Paul’s Cathedral.

Candidates should have experience in the fields of inflammation, immunity, vascular biology and/or related disciplines, such as metabolic disorders and regulation of cell death, ideally at post-doctoral level. Technical expertise in imaging and/or in vivo methodologies will be advantageous.

The posts are full-time and fixed term for 3 years. Starting salary will be in the range £30,805 – £40,335 per annum inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include 30 days’ annual leave, defined benefit pension scheme and interest-free season ticket loan.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Where required this may include entry clearance or continued leave to remain under the Points Based Immigration Scheme.

Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr Martina Beyrau (m.beyrau@qmul.ac.uk).
