The Opportunity: 

We are looking for individuals to contribute to the management and publishing of work funded by The H2020 funded grant Cardioregenix, which is positioned to understand and exploit non-coding RNA in cardiac disease. This will involve analysis of non-coding RNA in vascular remodelling regeneration and how to manipulate this and assess therapeutic gain in models of disease (myocardial infarction/cardiac grafting etc).

Your Skills and Attributes for Success: 

• A PhD or thesis submitted/in preparation or equivalent professional qualification and/or experience in the non-coding RNA and/or cardiovascular biology/therapy.
• Ability to communicate complex information clearly, orally and in writing and with appropriate IT and interpersonal skills
• Experience in relevant approaches and models, analytical techniques and methods (includes practical lab work, data manipulations and subsequent dissemination of research in form of publication), particularly understanding transcriptome informatics.
