We are seeking a highly motivated cell biologist to join Dr. Naomi McGovern's laboratory. The lab works on human mononuclear phagocytes and how their properties are regulated by the local microenvironment. We study these cells in a range of settings including the maternal-fetal interface, inflamed joints and cancer.
We seek a talented, productive and motivated postdoc with a desire to work in a congenial, dynamic and collaborative research team.
The group is interested in studying mononuclear phagocyte biology in diverse settings. The project is funded by the UKRI and will investigate how the properties of macrophages are regulated by their local microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface. You will work on primary tissues macrophages, iPSCs and organoid systems. Techniques you will use include multiparameter FACS, scRNAseq and confocal microscopy.
The post holder should embody and demonstrate our core values: Bold, Open, and Collegial, in addition to the following:
Postdoctors are expected to lead their own projects, contribute to other projects on a collaborative basis (both in the lab and with external collaborators) and guide PhD students in their research. The ability to work in a team is essential.
