    Description

    Applications are invited for a 3-year Grade 7 Post-Doctoral Research Associate position to join an international team in the Department of Genetics in central Cambridge. The project is led by Dr Ben Steventon and is aimed towards understanding how alterations in tissue geometry and tissue extrinsic mechanical forces can alter early tissue morphogenesis during embryonic development. The project will be co-led by the Steventon group, and that of Dr Thierry Savin in the Department of Engineering. It would be well suited to someone from a Bioengineering or experimental Biophysics background who has an interest to apply their skills in the context of a mechanobiology project. There will be ample opportunity to learn from and become immersed in a research group that utilizes a range of biological systems to tackle fundamental problems of early embryo development.

    We are looking for a highly motivated and well-organized person, with a PhD in Bioengineering, Biophysics or a related discipline, with experience in either microfluidic methods, hydrogels for 2D/3D cell culture, or micromechanics of biological tissues. Excellent organizational skills and the desire to work as part of an inter-disciplinary team is essential.

    Specific experience required:

    • Development and application of microfluidics
    • Engineered hydrogels for tissue culture
    • Mechanobiology
    • Cell culture and generation of embryonic organoids (gastruloids)
    • Confocal and live cell imaging
    • Microscopy development
