There is a vacancy for an ambitious, self-motivated, dedicated and enthusiastic scientist to join a project investigating novel mechanisms regulating arterial tone in the microcirculation, with a particular focus on human and porcine coronary arterioles. The project will involve setting up isolated, cannulated and pressurised arteries and arterioles, and studying aspects relating to function (e.g. diameter measurements), signalling (e.g. Ca2+ imaging) and structure (e.g. immunohistochemistry, preparation for electron microscopy).

Together with a PhD in a relevant discipline, the successful candidate will require experience of studying isolated arteries in a physiological setting. Applicants will be expected to have a strong research track record, for their stage of career. They must be able to demonstrate excellent oral and written communication skills, as the successful candidate will be expected to write research papers for publication and to present work orally. Applicants should be self-motivated and able to work independently, but also be good team workers and keen to collaborate with other scientists in the research group and department.
