Old Road Campus Research Building

We have an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join Professor Ester Hammond’s group as part of an enthusiastic research team investigating tumour hypoxia and how this impacts treatment response. You will also report to Professor Stuart Conway at the Department of Chemistry.

The particular topic of research in this role will be bioreductive approaches to targeted radiosensitisation and imaging of hypoxic tumours.

You will have a PhD/DPhil in molecular biology, biochemistry, biology or a related science (or have submitted your thesis prior to taking up the post). You must be able to demonstrate competence and success in the PhD research area (and postdoctoral work if appropriate), e.g. as judged by publications in high quality, peer reviewed, journals.

Evidence will be sought of a deep understanding of the applicant’s previous fields of research, and evidence of independent intellectual and practical contributions to previous research projects, as indicators that such attributes can be brought to bear on the present project. A current or recent UK Home Office Personal Licence (PIL) is also an essential requirement of this role.

This is a full-time post and is offered for a fixed-term of 1 year in the first instance with the possibility of extension.

All applicants must complete an application form and upload a CV and supporting statement.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 13 June 2016. Interviews are scheduled for 30 June 2016.
