13 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom

We seek a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Translational Lymphoma Research group of Professor Okosun. Our lab studies the pathogenesis of lymphomas, investigating intra-tumour heterogeneity, clonal evolution, biomarkers of response and resistance to therapies and developing methodologies to study lymphoma cell populations (Okosun et al, 2014; 2016, Nature Genetics; Araf et al, Leukemia 2018; Poynton et al, Blood Adv 2023; Coulter et al, J Mol Diagn 2024). The wet lab/computational biology postdoc will lead a project investigating residual follicular lymphoma cell populations using patient samples and employing a combination of multi-modal techniques (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, ResolveOME) to develop novel assays for disease monitoring. The post is based at the Barts Cancer Institute (BCI) in London, with an ideal start date of July 2025.

We are seeking a dedicated and motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate with interest/expertise in psychoneuroimmunology or related field to work with us investigating the mechanisms behind the antidepressant effect of physical exercise. The position is funded by the Wellcome Trust for two years in the first instance (Life Study), potentially renewable for another year. You will work at the Translational Pharmacology Lab directed by Dr. Livia A. Carvalho. The post holder will apply both wet-, and dry- lab methods in appropriate human clinical studies to interrogate research questions related to development, maintenance and treatment of mental illnesses.

Applicants are invited to apply for the above post within the Translational Cardiovascular Therapeutics group (Ken Suzuki laboratory). Suzuki’s interdisciplinary laboratory conducts a range of translational research to develop advanced stem cell therapy for heart failure. The project, in which you will be engaged, is exciting cutting-edge translational research in myocardial repair and regeneration therapy funded by the British Heart Foundation and others. You will be able to enjoy this exciting project and obtain precious experience and skill/knowledge in this area in the internationally competitive laboratory. The work will be based in the William Harvey Research Institute (Charterhouse Square Campus, London). This Institute has a strong record in preclinical and clinical therapeutic development and has recently made a large expansion forward in cardiovascular research.

A position is available to investigate the role of centrosomes in short telomere syndrome, specifically dyskeratosis congenita (DC). The candidate will explore centrosome-telomere interactions using molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches, including CRISPR-based gene editing, advanced microscopy, RNA sequencing, and proteomics. Responsibilities include designing and conducting experiments, analysing data, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, mentoring students, preparing publications and grant applications, and presenting findings at conferences.

We invite applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Bone and Joint Health Group within the Centre of Neuroscience, Surgery and Trauma at the Blizard Institute to assist with the study ‘‘Addressing critical gaps in childhood-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders: Towards evidence-based interventions and personalised rehabilitation’. The research project aims to develop a core outcome set for this population and test the feasibility of a client-centred problem-solving approach in rehabilitation for children and young people with hyperkinetic movement disorders, including dystonia. The project is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR303636) (under Dr Gimeno’s Advanced Fellowship), running between 2024-2028.  

The post holder will be joining the Centre for Preventive Neurology at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Queen Mary University of London to undertake qualitative research in collaboration with and under the supervision of the PI in order to realise the objectives to explore perceptions and attitudes towards Multiple Sclerosis (MS) risk and prevention in two groups: people with MS and their first-degree relatives, who do not have a diagnosis of MS but are have an elevated risk of developing MS in the future.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate will contribute to the intellectual life of the School / Institute and wider institution. They will be involved in the NIHR Dementia and Neurodegeneration Policy Research Unit at Queen Mary (DeNPRU-QM) specifically contributing their knowledge in quantitative methods. They will also contribute to other projects within the Centre for Psychiatry and Mental Health

We invite applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the School of Mathematical Sciences. The successful applicant will work in close collaboration with Dr Alex Fink on the project “Extensions of matroid Hodge theory”, funded by EPSRC. June Huh’s 2022 Fields Medal was awarded for results including that the Chow ring of any matroid satisfies the Kähler package even when there is no associated Kähler manifold. More recent work of the PI and Andrew Berget has proved Speyer’s 2005 f-vector conjecture by showing that Stanley-Reisner rings associated to every pair of matroids reflect an analogue of Weyman’s geometric method for syzygies. The objectives of this project are to extend these theories to further settings, in particular to subdivisions of flag matroids and to bimatroids and their associated monoid structures, and to relate them to local and global properties of matroid realisation spaces.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, flexible and committed Postdoctoral Research Scholar to join our team for a study focused on the evolution, operationalisation and contestation of regional electoral integrity peer review mechanisms in Africa. You will deliver high-quality research through fieldwork in Cameroon and Gabon, archival research in London and on-site observation of the 2025 Presidential elections in Cameroon. You will spend 0.6 FTE conducting individual research and 0.4 FTE providing research assistance to the Principal Investigator, managing the project web page and participating in research team-wide activities including co-authorship of papers and organising seminars, conferences and talks. 

This position is for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on 24 month Barts Charity-funded research project.

This exciting project aims to improve diagnoses of inherited platelet disorders. It will combine state-of-the-art spectral flow cytometry-based immunophenotyping with access to patient samples from one of the largest inherited bleeding and platelet disorder practises in the world.  

The successful candidate, will work closely with colleagues at Barts Health NHS Trust, obtaining and analysying blood samples from healthy volunteers/patients. The work will involve designing, optimising and validating a diagnostic-focused panel of antibodies and assay conditions, alongside bioinformatic computational analyses and machine learning models, identifying different platelet-based disorders. The role will also involve collaboration with colleagues from Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI)
