The post The Faculty wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Postdoctoral Research Fellow to participate in unravelling the intricate cellular regulation of basement membrane (BM) growth and organisation. This Wellcome funded post is immediately available until 31 January 2028. The prosperous applicant will use a combination of genetic perturbations, biophysical approaches and several high resolution imaging techniques to identify molecular regulators of BM growth during the development of the fruit fly Drosophila. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface of biology and physics, mastering a wide set of cutting-edge techniques and create unprecedented insight into the growth regulation of BMs. The post will include molecular cloning, Drosophila genetics and light and electron microscopy. You will have a deep interest in the mechanical aspects of shape generation during animal development Previous practice with Drosophila is not required but an advantage. About you PDRA: The prosperous applicant will be able to present information on research progress and results, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies. candidates will possess a significant PhD (or be nearing completion) or possess an equivalent qualification/practice in a related field of study and be able to demonstrate sufficient expertise in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes.
