Postdoctoral Research Associate
Join a British Heart Foundation-funded project investigating the metabolic mechanisms linking intermittent hypoxia to cardiovascular dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnoea.
Best for:Best for early-career researchers with a PhD in cardiovascular physiology or related fields and strong experience in in vivo murine models.
Overview
The William Harvey Research Institute at Queen Mary University of London is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join Dr. Gabor Czibik’s laboratory. This role focuses on the PHÆDRA project, which explores how intermittent hypoxia impacts cardiometabolic regulation in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The successful candidate will utilize in vivo murine models and integrate molecular, cellular, and physiological approaches to uncover new metabolic mechanisms. This position is ideal for an early-career researcher looking to advance their expertise in translational cardiovascular science within a multidisciplinary environment.
What you'll do
- Conduct in vivo cardiovascular phenotyping using murine models of intermittent hypoxia.
- Perform mechanistic studies on metabolic signalling pathways related to hypoxic stress.
- Integrate molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to investigate cardiometabolic regulation.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team across cardiovascular physiology, endocrinology, and metabolism.
- Analyze experimental data and contribute to the preparation of research findings for publication.
- Develop and implement new experimental approaches to address project objectives.
Requirements
Degree required: PhD in cardiovascular physiology, experimental cardiology, biomedical science, metabolism, or a related discipline.
Language: English
Instruction: English
- Proven experience in in vivo murine physiology.
- Proficiency in cardiovascular phenotyping techniques such as echocardiography or haemodynamic measurements.
- Strong analytical and organisational skills.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a research setting.
