The Salivary Disorders Unit at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a 2–5-year project on Sjögren’s disease and salivary gland dysfunction. The central research question is which antigens are recognized by T cells in Sjögren’s disease-affected salivary glands and how that recognition contributes to the loss of glandular function. The program connects a Sjögren’s disease resear...

About this position

Queen Mary University of London is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead the bioinformatics component of a translational project on Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). The project, funded by Barts Charity, is hosted in Dr Maria Fragiadaki’s laboratory at the William Harvey Research Institute, within the Centre for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at the John Vane Science Centre in London.

The research will use 10x Genomics Visium spatial transcriptomics to investigate how JAK inhibition influences ADPKD progression and inflammation. The postdoctoral researcher will analyse existing spatial transcriptomics datasets, perform digital microdissection by identifying cyst-associated regions, and uncover localised inflammatory niches within diseased kidney tissue.

A major focus will be the analysis of ligand–receptor interactions and cellular crosstalk among epithelial cells, immune cells and fibroblasts following JAK inhibition. The researcher will develop and drive computational workflows for data acquisition, integration, deconvolution and cell–cell communication analysis, helping to reveal the spatial organisation and molecular mechanisms underlying treatment response.

The role provides an opportunity to contribute to high-impact translational research in a multidisciplinary environment combining bioinformatics, spatial biology, inflammation research and renal disease investigation.

Funding details

This is a full-time, fixed-term 12-month postdoctoral position with a salary of £39,187–£42,993 per annum. The post is funded by Barts Charity. Benefits include a pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum pro rata, a season ticket loan scheme, professional development opportunities and flexible working and family-friendly policies.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD, or be close to completion, in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a quantitative biological field. Documented experience managing spatial or single-cell RNA transcriptomics workflows and strong programming proficiency in R or Python are essential. Experience in data acquisition, integration, deconvolution and calculating cell-cell communication networks is highly desirable. Candidates must be able to work independently, drive computational pipelines and communicate discoveries effectively within a multidisciplinary translational research team.
