The post-holder will investigate neutrophil and monocyte trafficking in response to myocardial infarction, using genetically engineered disease models. A range of molecular, cell biological and imaging techniques (mainly spinning disc, confocal and epifluorescence microscopy) will be used in conjunction with the in vivo study. Previous experience with in vivo models of cardiovascular disease, immunology, biochemical assays and cell/molecular biology would be considered highly desirable.

The post is based at King’s College London within the School of Cardiovascular Medicine and Sciences at the James Black Centre (King’s Denmark Hill campus) as part of the King’s College London BHF Centre of Research Excellence (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/scms/bhf-centre). The Centre is committed to driving the career progression of talented aspiring academics. King’s and the BHF Centre hold an excellent multidisciplinary environment with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities (https://www.kclwcic.co.uk/, https://brain-imaging.org/equipment/).
