Research Fellow In Molecular And Cellular Biology

Description:

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist to support Nottingham Trent's new strategic investment in Metabolic Health in the School of Science and Technology. The successful applicant will join the recently launched Centre for Systems Health and Integrated Metabolic Research (SHiMR) within the Department of Biosciences.

The PDRA will have experience of molecular techniques including flow cytometry and single cell RNA-Seq. Experience in cellular metabolism and bioinformatics is desirable. Advanced training is available within the SHiMR Centre, where the post-holder will work in the state-of-the-art Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Centre (ISTeC) that houses two major evolving and complementary strategic themes, Metabolic Health, and Cancer Biology, with extensive expertise in cutting edge and in vitro cell biology, cell imaging and molecular techniques such as flow cytometry, spatial transcriptomics, and single cell RNA-Seq.

The School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is an exciting multidisciplinary environment for learning, teaching and research, with some of the best facilities in the UK.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality teaching and diverse, real-world research. We specialise in biosciences, chemistry, computing and technology, as well as engineering, forensic science, mathematics, physics and sport science. This mix of traditional and modern subjects encourages and inspires future innovators.

Our courses in the Department of Biosciences are research-led, providing students with cutting-edge knowledge and access to high-specification facilities. It is one of the many reasons why our courses are accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science, the Royal Society of Biology and the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environment Management.
