Research Associate (Khaled Lab) (Fixed Term)

University Of Cambridge

Description

The Wellcome Trust - Medical Research Council Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is an international centre of excellence for stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Scientists in the Institute collaborate to advance our knowledge of various stem cell types and to perform pioneering work in translational research areas, providing the foundation for new medical treatments (https: // www. stemcells.cam.ac.uk/).

A Research Associate position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Walid Khaled. The group uses multidisciplinary approaches to understand epithelial cell fate decisions during normal development and early stages of tumourigenesis (Bach et al 2017, Lazarus et 2018, Hadi et al 2020, Bach and Pensa et al 2021 and Twigger A-J et al. 2022). The lab is now focusing on how the whole tissue responds to tumour initiation.

In particular, what is the role of the cell of origin and the stroma/immune microenvironment in shaping the developmental trajectory of nascent cancer cells. To achieve this the lab is recruiting a post-doctoral scientist with significant expertise in mouse models of breast cancer.

Requirements:

We are looking for candidates who hold a PhD (or about to complete their PhD) in one of the following fields: cancer biology or developmental biology. The candidates should have demonstrable experience (eg. first author publications) in designing, performing and analysing complex GEMM experiments. It is preferable if the candidate also has any experience in analysing NGS data.

It's essential that the post-holders are organised, responsible, able to work collaboratively as a member of a team and can communicate effectively and clearly both orally and in writing. The successful candidates are expected to take a lead role in the laboratory including supervision of research assistants and students. Proven capacity to design, execute, and interpret your own experiments is essential.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 24 months in the first instance (funded by CRUK).
