Investigator Scientist in Cell Biology

The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology is seeking an Investigator Scientist for a six-month maternity cover position within the laboratory of Dr. Marta Shahbazi. The successful candidate will focus on advancing an ongoing research project investigating the mechanisms governing the conversion of human embryonic stem cells into the naïve state. This role requires a dedicated researcher with a strong background in stem cell biology and the ability to work effectively within a collaborative, world-class research environment. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to high-impact developmental biology research at a leading UKRI institute.

• Conduct research on the mechanisms of human embryonic stem cell conversion to the naïve state.
• Execute experimental protocols related to gene regulation and transcriptomics.
• Collaborate effectively with lab members and contribute to the team's research objectives.
• Communicate research findings clearly through presentations and documentation.
