Research Associate in Developmental Cell Biology

The University of Manchester seeks a Research Associate to join the Manning Lab for a three-year Wellcome-funded project investigating how cytonemes (specialised signalling filopodia) transmit Notch signals during development. The role involves combining cell culture, live imaging, mouse embryo experiments, and correlative light-electron microscopy to explore developmental signalling. The successful candidate will develop quantitative image-analysis workflows, manage research activities, and communicate findings through publications and conferences. Essential criteria include a PhD (or imminent completion) in developmental or cell biology, strong microscopy and quantitative analysis experience, and willingness to work with mouse embryos.
