Postdoctoral Research Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant
position in the Prof Patrik Rorsman group within the Oxford Centre for
Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism (OCDEM).





The successful candidate will join a well-resourced team with a track record
of major discoveries and supporting early career research fellows. The post
holder will join a team that studies the function and physiology of islet
cells. Focusing on the non-beta cells (alpha and delta cells), the goal of
this group is to understand how the islet cells interact with each other to
ensure a balanced islet hormone output to maintain systemic glucose
homeostasis and how this becomes disrupted in type-1 diabetes.





To be considered, you will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil degree at the time of
commencing the post. The post holder should have experience of generating
mouse models with type-1 diabetes. He/she should also have experience of
pancreatic islet physiology and relevant methodologies (e.g., live cell
imaging and hormone secretion assays).





The position is full time and fixed term until 5th April 2025. The position
will be based at OCDEM, Churchill Hospital, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7LE.





For informal enquiries, please contact Prof Patrik Rorsman

correspondence. As part of your formal online application, you will be
required to upload a CV and supporting statement.
