Placed On: 20th September 2024
Closes: 3rd October 2024
Job Ref: 175446
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our interdisciplinary team focussed on understanding the cellular composition of musculoskeletal tissues in health and disease. They will deliver biologically-informed computational analysis of single-cell resolution datasets of soft and hard musculoskeletal tissues.
 
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate you will undertake computational analysis for studies and contribute to the overall planning of both laboratory and computational aspects of projects. You will advise and support laboratory and computational staff with wet lab experiments and bioinformatics approaches, and offer technical guidance and mentorship to team members working on related projects.
