Postdoctoral Scientist in Renal Development and Organoid Morphogenesis

A 3-year fixed-term Postdoctoral Scientist position is available in the Röper lab at the University of Cambridge to investigate mechanisms of organ formation during development. The project focuses on the role of the nucleus and its linkage to the cytoskeleton, particularly the LINC complex, in both human renal organoids and the Drosophila renal system. The role involves advanced imaging, quantitative analysis, genetics, and organoid culture, requiring expertise in Drosophila husbandry, immunofluorescence, confocal imaging, and coding (Python/Matlab). Candidates must have or be about to receive a PhD in Cell Biology or Developmental Biology.
