Applications are invited for the position of Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA), funded as part of a Medical Research Council New Investigator Research Grant. This is a fixed term, full time position based at the Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre (MFHRC) at the University of Manchester, with a visiting period to the University of Toronto, Canada

This position will leverage these state of the art biomedical techniques to delineate the aetiology of pre-eclampsia, a common yet serious disease of pregnancy that lacks treatment options due to limited understanding of pathogenesis.

The successful applicant will have a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline, with experience of in vitro biomedical experimentation and ‘omics analysis. The appointee will receive full training as appropriate, however, the ability to conduct experimental and computational work independently is essential. Candidates must be strongly motivated to run a research project and provide significant intellectual contribution.
