About this position

Research Associate opportunity at the University of Glasgow in the School of Cancer Sciences, working with Dr Alexander Raven at the Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre.

The project is UKRI funded and focuses on pre-cancerous disease, hepatic epithelium, mutant-clone outgrowth, and the biological forces that drive liver cancer progression. The Raven lab studies clonal trajectories of precancerous cells and how clone location and oncogenic signals influence tumour-forming potential. This role will contribute to experiments, analysis of large datasets, and the preparation of publications and research proposals.

Key research interests include bioinformatics, computational biology, single-cell technologies, spatial technologies, transcriptomics, proteomics, in vivo disease modelling, microscopy, and image analysis. The post holder will help design and implement experiments, interpret data, present findings, and support collaborative work with academic, clinical, and industry partners.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a PhD or equivalent experience, strong programming skills in Matlab/Python/R, experience analysing large datasets, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Experience with molecular biology, disease modelling, and research supervision is desirable.

This is a full-time post with funding until 30 November 2029. Salary is £41,064 - £46,049 per annum. The vacancy is based in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

Deadline: 8 September 2026 at 23:45.
