    Description

    About the Role

    We are looking for an academically driven postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team, exploring how fibroblast cues regulate fibrotic niches in the human and mouse intestine.

    You will be applying a range of molecular biology techniques (e.g., single cell/spatial transcriptomics & proteomics) to profile patient cohort samples and mouse tissues, conduct and analyse in vivo mouse models, develop and deploy mechanistic tissue organoid assays, and carry out integrative bioinformatic analyses.

    Besides your project responsibilities, you will become an integrative part of the research group, supporting the team in a wide variety of experimental approaches and with topical expertise.

    You will liaise with your direct supervisor, and other members of group, regarding experiments and general laboratory procedures.


    About You
    Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant subject, or be close to completion.

    You will also need to demonstrate that you have:


    • An ability to independently manage own research and administrative activities.
    • Experience of following, adapting and generating experimental and analytic protocols.
    • Hands-on experience of in vivo mouse models.
    • An excellent understanding of intestinal immunity.
    • A keen interest in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease and intestinal fibrosis.
    • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write text that can be published, and present data at meeting.

    Having expertise in cutting-edge bioinformatic analysis and having an expert understanding of fibrosis pathomechanisms would both be desirable attributes for this post.



    Translational Gastroenterology and Liver Unit
    The Translational Gastroenterology and Liver Unit (TGLU) is situated in the John Radcliffe Hospital and headed by Paul Klenerman.

    The Unit builds on excellent clinical programmes in inflammatory bowel disease and hepatology as well as cutting edge basic science programmes in mucosal immunology.

    The new state of the art laboratories are in close proximity to clinical gastroenterology and bring together scientists, clinician scientists and gastroenterologists with the objective of translating fundamental research in mucosal immunology into enhanced treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease and cancer.
