Research Associate in Circadian Clocks and Pulmonary Fibrosis - University of Manchester, Manchester, UK

The University of Manchester seeks to recruit a post-doctoral Research Associate to work on the rapidly developing area of biological clocks and lung fibrosis. The successful candidate will be generating and analysing nuclear receptor cell-targeted transgenic mice. Next generation sequencing (RNA-seq) coupled with bioinformatics analysis will then be used to identify pro-fibrotic mechanisms, for testing in-vivo. The translational importance of these findings will be established through ex-vivo analysis of human lung tissue from patients with pulmonary fibrosis, this will include studying the effect of novel compounds which target key circadian pathways.

The deadline for applications is 10 August 2014. For further information, please visit the University of Manchester website.
