Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced, collaborative, and enthusiastic postdoctoral scientist to work on delivering bulk and single-cell resolution multi-omic datasets of soft and hard musculoskeletal tissues. These datasets aim to provide novel mechanistic insights into musculoskeletal health and disease, as well as prognostic and diagnostic indicators of musculoskeletal pathologies.

Responsibilities include carrying out laboratory protocols for generating multi-omic datasets of human musculoskeletal tissues and conducting computational analyses of these datasets. The role involves adapting existing protocols and developing new methods to analyze archival and fresh tissue samples. You will manage your own research activities, coordinate project tasks to meet deadlines, and contribute ideas for new research projects, including grant proposals.

You should hold a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion) with experience in generating bulk and/or single-cell RNA sequencing data from tissue samples. Experience with multiplex imaging datasets, immunoassays, and cell culture is required. You must have demonstrated success in analyzing transcriptomic or proteomic datasets, including data processing, quality control, normalization, and interpretation. Experience working with human musculoskeletal tissues, including tissue handling and processing, is desirable.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position for 24 months, with part-time options considered (minimum 60% FTE).
