Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London
This fixed-term, full-time postdoctoral role is based in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London, with work located at the Charterhouse Square Campus in London, United Kingdom. The project focuses on the tumour microenvironment in breast cancer progression and therapy efficacy, with a strong emphasis on mechanobiology, tissue stiffness, 3D cultures, and advanced imaging of tension and stiffness.
The successful candidate will contribute to research on how microenvironmental cells influence cancer progression and treatment response. The role is especially suited to researchers with experience in matrix biology, 3D breast cancer models, mechanobiology, and molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a PhD or be near completion in a related scientific discipline. A current HO animal licence is required. Experience and interest in 3D models of breast cancer, state-of-the-art imaging, and investigation of molecular mechanisms are expected.
Funding and terms: this is a salaried postdoctoral appointment for 30 months, with a salary range of £39,187 to £47,550 per annum. Queen Mary also highlights pension access, annual leave, and professional development opportunities.
