About this position

University of Oxford is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist for an internationally recognised programme in oxygen sensing, hypoxia biology, and cardiovascular physiology.

This is a 32-month, full-time, fixed-term position funded by a Wellcome Discovery Award. The project will investigate how a newly discovered oxygen-sensing pathway regulates cardiovascular responses to hypoxia, building on landmark work published in Science (Masson, Keeley et al., 2019).

The successful candidate will lead independent research in a multidisciplinary environment, perform integrated cardiovascular phenotyping under basal, hypoxic, and pharmacologically stimulated conditions, manage recombinant/transgenic mouse lines, and use advanced in vivo and ex vivo physiological techniques.

Applicants should have a PhD/DPhil in cardiovascular science or a related discipline, or be close to completion. Experience with recombinant/transgenic mouse colonies and strong experimental skills in cardiovascular physiology are required.

To apply, submit your CV and supporting statement online, addressing the selection criteria. The application deadline is 12:00 noon on Thursday 20 August 2026. Please quote Vacancy 187231 in all correspondence.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
