Renata Jurkowska

Cardiff University is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher in Lung Tissue Imaging within the School of Biosciences , working in the group of Renata Jurkowska (Reader, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow). The project is supported by a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award and sits at the interface of biology, physics, and advanced imaging . The research focuses on how healthy lung tissues maintain function and how these processes are disrupted in chronic lung diseases . The successful candidate will help develop and apply a transformative multiphoton microscopy platform to measure mucus viscoelasticity and map living lung tissues with high spatial, structural, and molecular resolution. Key research themes include lung biology , chronic respiratory disease , advanced multimodal microscopy , image analysis , tissue and primary cell-based models , mechanobiology , and airway remodelling . The role also involves collaboration with researchers at Cardiff University and the University of Cambridge , alongside biophysicists and imaging experts. Applicants should have experience in microscopy and quantitative image analysis , mammalian tissue imaging and analysis , and 2D and/or 3D cellular or tissue models . Strong communication and collaborative skills are highlighted. The post is based at Cardiff University, UK . This is a postdoctoral opening rather than a scholarship. The post does not mention a deadline or salary amount in the social post, but it does provide a direct application link to the university recruitment page.
