英国比特森癌症研究所2022年招聘博士后职位

Postdoctoral Research Scientist - Prof J Le Quesne

Cancer Research UK

Description

About us

The CRUK Beatson Institute where the lab is based is a world leading cancer research institute, situated in the vibrant city of Glasgow in Scotland and hosting approximately 60 postdoctoral researcher scientists at any one time. It has an excellent reputation for fundamental cancer research, including world-class metabolism studies and renowned in vivo modelling of tumour growth and metastasis.

Project outline

A postdoctoral position is offered in the Deep Phenotyping group headed by Professor John Le Quesne. As a group we apply the latest in quantitative image-forming pathological and molecular methods to human and model tissues to understand how tumours function at the cellular level.

The project addresses a key question in solid tumour biology; what is the significance of epithelial plasticity, and how does it influence the clinicopathological tumour behaviour? We find that phenotypic plasticity underlies the most lethal morphologies in lung adenocarcinoma; how does this drive hallmark tumour behaviour such as metastasis?

We house and use the very latest in quantitative multiplex imaging and spatial transcriptomic technologies, and apply them to large cohorts of archival human mouse model tumour tissues. The successful applicant will work with data generated by our own expert technical team, by our core facilities, and with collaborators. You will use this data to answer a range of key questions about tumour cell plasticity, and there is potential both for clinical translation and in vivo modelling.

You must have a PhD in a relevant field, be ambitious, and driven by scientific curiosity. Exisiting skills with regard to digital pathology, quantitative image analysis (eg QuPath, visiopharm) and bioinformatic methods are all desirable.

To find out more about this unique opportunity to establish advanced skills and expertise in this exciting field please contact: Professor John Le Quesne, john.lequesne@glasgow.ac.uk.
