We are looking for a motivated and talented scientist to join our team at the Francis Crick Institute and King’s College London, to work on an exciting new interdisciplinary project funded by BBSRC.

Our team focuses on combining stem cell technologies, tissue engineering and imaging techniques to understand how the nervous systems works and to model neurodegeneration in a dish.

Projects within our team range from disease modelling, technology development applications and basic neurobiology.

This position will focus on developing novel tissue engineering on-chip modelling approaches for creating large scale 3D models of human neural and musculoskeletal tissue, to be used together with advanced volumetric imaging to model both human development and human neuromuscular diseases.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about interdisciplinary research, and should be interested 3D culture systems, stem cells and tissue engineering techniques applied to biological questions, with a strong interest in new technology development. A large component of this post will be creating novel systems at the interface between different fields, so while a background in tissue engineering and stem cell technologies is a plus, we are actively looking for candidates with a diverse and wide-ranging set of skills to complement our team.
