We are seeking an independent and motivated postdoctoral Research Associate to work on a Yorkshire Cancer Research (YCR)-funded project at the interface of stem cell biology and disease modelling. The successful applicant will employ genetic engineering to generate human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines with defined sets of inducible tumour-associated genetic lesions that are relevant to a wide range of paediatric and adult cancers. The resulting resource will be employed for detailed downstream phenotypic characterisation as well as drug discovery via high throughput screening.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.
