UE07: £40,247.00 - £47,874.00 Per Annum.
CMVM/Edinburgh Medical School/Deanery of Biomedical Sciences/Centre for Discovery Brain sciences/INCR.
Fixed-Term until: 8th December 2027.
Full-time, 35 hours per week.
The Opportunity:
This is an exciting opportunity for a post-doctoral researcher to advance stem cell science and human embryo models. The work is being done by an international collaboration, and an unusual feature of this position will be the experience of working for around 6 months in the (English-speaking) partner lab in Kyoto, Japan, as well as making a few short visits there for meetings. The rest of the time, the work will be based at the University of Edinburgh, a world-class research environment well known for stem cell science.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. For this post, it is essential that the post-holder be willing to make several short (1-2 week) trips to Kyoto, Japan, and also to spend a contiguous period of around 6 months working in the laboratory of the Kyoto partner, Cantas Alev (in which English is the working language). This, an exchange with a Kyoto-based post-doc coming to Edinburgh, is a required aspect of the grant scheme funding this work. The timing is negotiable to some extent, but the visits are not. The position is lab-based, so hybrid working is not feasible.
The salary for this post is £40,247 - £47,874 per annum.
