We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative technician with a background in molecular and cellular biology and the study of cardiovascular biology in model systems both ex vivo and in vivo. The post holder will be involved with projects that broadly focus on cardiac fibrosis through the study of cardiac fibroblast biology in primary cells, cell lines and in model systems. The goal of the post holder will be expected to produce original research contributions for the core program of the Group with a view to publishing data in highly-cited scientific journals through making impactful discoveries that are biologically insightful and also useful.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with excellent technical and organizational skills to join the Chromatin & Development group, led by Dr Michelle Percharde. The successful candidate will be actively involved in research projects within the laboratory and assist with the daily running of the group, and be an integrated member of the highly-collaborative LMS environment.

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant in Proteomics with an interest in protein biochemistry, instrumental analysis methods and modern Omics approaches, to work within the MRC LMS Proteomics facility. An in depth knowledge of biochemistry, analytical sciences and data analysis skills are required. Experience in high throughput Proteomics analysis and bioinformatics analysis of complex data sets would be a distinct advantage.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly-motivated scientist for a 3-year postdoctoral position at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS), to join the Chromatin & Development group, headed by Dr Michelle Percharde. The LMS is a leading MRC-funded Institute affiliated with Imperial College London, based on the Hammersmith Hospital Campus in West London. The LMS provides a thriving research environment, state-of-the-art facilities, and the opportunity to pursue innovative, multi-disciplinary projects.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and creative scientist to drive an innovative research project on role of cohesion in gene regulation. The successful applicant will join an established group of colleagues with access to core facility support and a network of experimental and computational collaborations. Candidates should have a strong background in cell and molecular biology, and ideally genetics, epigenetics, or computational biology.

The candidates will have a PhD, a strong background in a biomedical science or quantitative discipline (mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science), as well as prior experience in generating and/or interrogating data from high-throughput genomics assays. Competence in the analysis of chromosomal interactions and cis-regulatory networks is particularly relevant, and a track record in devising novel experimental and/or computational techniques is desirable. The ideal applicant will have a dual wet- and dry-lab expertise, but strong candidates from either one of these backgrounds are also encouraged to apply.

The Chain Florey Clinical Research Fellowship Scheme presents clinical trainees with a unique opportunity to study basic science supported by two world-renowned academic institutions, Imperial College and the Medical Research Council London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS), formerly the Clinical Sciences Centre. The scheme has a variety of PhD projects on offer which focus specifically on basic science rather than on clinical research.
Chain Florey Clinical Research Fellowships provide an ideal base for those wishing to pursue a career in clinical academia. You should possess prior laboratory experience and need to demonstrate the skill base and motivation for a basic science PhD; each Fellow is expected to complete their PhD within the duration of the appointment.

The recruitment programme will be open until 31 January 2019. Applications can be submitted at any time and will be reviewed on an on-going basis.
