    The position will be based at the . The project is a collaboration with to investigate the implications on the cardiomyocyte electrophysiology and to study this complex at tissue level using myocardial slice cultures6, for which the candidate will also perform work at Imperial College London.

    Our research groups prioritize a healthy research culture, collaboration, and flexible work hours as needed. We will provide personalised mentorship to the successful candidate. Previous group members continued to careers in academia and industry.
