About us
The School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine & Sciences (SCMMS), is one of six schools that make up the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine (FoLSM) at King College London. The School drives translation of world-leading basic science into advances in clinical practices with activities focusing on the Cardiac Biomedicine Department of Diabetes and Vascular Biomedicine.
About the role
This position is for a talented and enthusiastic postdoctoral scientist to work on a BHF Project Grant led by Dr. Anna Zoccarato and Prof. Ajay Shah on the role of changes in cardiac metabolism to pathological cardiac remodelling, with specific focus on glucose anabolic pathways and stress responses.
The project will involve the use of i) iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and "engineered heart tissues (EHT)" and ii) experimental in vivo models of cardiac disease. We therefore seek to appoint an individual with a strong background in cell/molecular biology and experience of working with iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes or EHT. Previous experience with in vivo mouse models and in vivo phenotyping (e.g. high-resolution echocardiography) is desirable. The project will also offer experience in metabolomic assays, prior experience in this area is desirable but not essential. The postholder will be part of a vibrant multi-disciplinary research group working on several different aspects of cardiovascular pathophysiology, within the King’s BHF Centre of Research Excellence which has state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.
This is a full-time post (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered a fix-term contract for 3 years.
