Job description

An opportunity has arisen to join a dynamic research team that uses single-cell genomics to illuminate the pathogenesis of skin inflammation.

As part of a rapidly expanding program on atopic dermatitis (led by Prof Francesca Capon and Dr Satveer Mahil), a post-doctoral position is now available to investigate the determinants of response to treatment and adverse drug reactions.

The post-holder will join a well-established and inclusive team that integrates clinical, experimental and computational expertise. He/she will lead the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq and proteomic data generated in a well characterised patient resource.

There will also be scope to contribute to other projects where a variety of omics approaches are being applied to the study of severe skin inflammation.

The selection process will include a panel interview (scheduled for Fri 24 March) and a presentation.

This post will be offered on a fixed term contract for 2 years

This is a full-time post - 100% full time equivalent
