Job summary

City St George’s, University of London invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a BBSRC Pioneer Award‑funded project examining how melanocytes coordinate oxidative stress responses across skin cell types.

Based in the School of Health & Medical Sciences at City St George’s, University of London (Tooting Campus), you will use 2D/3D co-culture systems, live‑cell imaging and nanosensor approaches to advance understanding of redox signaling and cell communication.

Qualifications

• PhD in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, electrophysiology or related discipline.
• Substantial practical experience in mammalian cell culture and experimental cell biology.
• Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Experience in live-cell imaging, scanning probe microscopy, nanosensors, nanopipette-based techniques, electrophysiology, redox/ROS measurements or multicellular culture models would be advantageous.
• Training in specialised techniques will be provided.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and manipulate mammalian cell cultures, including immortal melanocytes and other skin cell types.
• Develop 2D and 3D co-culture models to study redox responses and cell-cell communication.
• Apply live-cell imaging, fluorescent ROS/redox measurements and nanosensor-based approaches.
• Analyse and interpret experimental data, contribute to experimental design and scientific publications, and present findings at meetings and conferences.
