We are looking for an inventive and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to work on a Wellcome Trust Funded Grant studying the molecular controllers of the immune response to inflammation, cancer, and tissue damage using Drosophila as a model system with the ultimate aim of identifying novel therapeutic strategies for inflammatory disease.
The Opportunity:
This is a 3 year, full-time postdoctoral position to work within the lab of Professor Will Wood at the University of Edinburgh. This represents a unique opportunity to be part of a multi-disciplinary team undertaking cross-species research in inflammation and innate immunity, utilising a powerful live imaging approach to understanding how efferocytosis regulates the fate and function of macrophages during health, injury and infection. The post-holder will undertake the Drosophila elements of this project, but will interface with mammalian-focused PDRAs to enable rapid identification of the key, evolutionarily conserved genetic signatures and mechanisms controlling inflammation.
This post will also support part-time and hybrid working, compressed hours and working from home.
