Postdoctoral Research Fellow, CRH, Closing 20 June 2025

This job post is for a postdoctoral research associate to conduct research on the role of two G-coupled receptors in the progression of difficult-to-treat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

The job holder will need to (i) study the biology of GPR56/GPR97 in leukemic cells (and in normal haematopoietic stem cells as a control), (ii) establish leukaemia cell lines and human iPSCs lacking one or both GPRs, and (iii) study their effects on haematopoietic cell function to identify mechanisms involved in AML progression and chemo-resistance.

Your skills and attributes for success: 

  • Appropriate degree, with relevant post-graduate research experience and accumulated knowledge.
  • A PhD or equivalent professional qualification and/or experience in the field of normal and malignant haematopoiesis.
  • PhD (or to be completed within 2 months of interview date) in an appropriate field.
  • Experience on cell culture  (human primary cells, cell lines and human iPSCs).
  • Strong expertise in multi-colour flow cytometry, CRISPR/Cas9 and molecular biology.
