Are you an early career researcher looking for a challenge?   Do you have a background in molecular and cellular biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

You will join a small team of 3 researchers and 2 PhD students, working in a laboratory focussed on the structure and function of myosins. We use a combination of approaches from light to electron microscopy, including CryoEM to solve structures, correlative CryoEM tomography on cells, and super-resolution imaging,­ to understand how myosin activity and regulation is important for cell behaviour in healh and disease. 

You should have a Degree, BTEC higher level or equivalent or equivalent experience. You should also have experience in mammalian and/or insect cell culture and cell biology (this can include a period in Further or Higher Education).

The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was awarded a Silver award in 2020.  We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees. Our Athena SWAN webpage provides more information.
