Applications are invited for a Research Associate to join the enthusiastic Functional Microscopy group headed by Dr Julia Gorelik in the Department of Cardiac Medicine at the National Heart and Lung Institute, a Division of the Faculty of Medicine.
The successful applicant will study localisation of ?AR cAMP/calcium signalling and cyclic GMP signalling to surface structures on the cardiomyocyte using a combination of three new techniques: scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM); fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based second messenger imaging; and ‘smart patch’ clamp.
You should hold a PhD in Biophysics, or closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience. You should have a laboratory experience with cardiomyocyte and ‘patch clamp’ experience. Previous experience of basic molecular biology methods, confocal microscopy, SICM and knowledge of programming and electronics would be advantageous.
Essential qualities required for the post include confidence in performing independent experiments, and the ability to learn new techniques, follow protocols and keep meticulous records.
This post is full-time and fixed-term for up to 24 months and is based at Royal Brompton Campus.
