2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Depression is a leading cause of disability with 1 in 6 people likely to experience a depressive episode during their lifetime; however, there are no validated biological markers for the disorder. Identifying replicable markers could provide valuable information about the aetiology of the disorder and act as an early warning system prior to the onset of a depressive episode. Depression is a heterogeneous condition warranting the examination of multiple dimensions of depression, including different symptom profiles as well as sex-stratified approaches.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The research associate will join an early-stage translational medical research project, combining artificial intelligence (AI) and portable ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Specifically, the project aims to develop and analytically validate an AI tool for automatic triaging of portable ultra-low-field MRI brain scans of adult patients into “normal” and “abnormal” for the purposes of triage. The role will involve acquisition and analysis of MRI data, as well as development of AI models. The post requires a skilled data scientist with expertise in deep learning as applied to computer vision, particularly in the context of medical imaging.

Application Deadline: 16 June 2024
5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The researcher appointed will focus on candidate phosphatases that have been validated to regulate actin dynamics during infection with the poxvirus Vaccinia. How do these phosphatases function, what are their key interactors, how do they recognise substrates, how do they impact signalling dynamics and outputs? The broader goal is to contextualise these findings in uninfected cells and, with the help of a collaborator, in other viral infections. The researcher appointed will take advantage of, and further develop, a Vaccinia virus-based signalling platform, as well as cutting-edge molecule counting and optogenetics tools available in the lab. Experience in phosphatase biology, microscopy, cell signalling or biochemistry is desirable but not mandatory.

10. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for a skilled and highly motivated post-doctoral researcher with an excellent knowledge of human immunology to join the Autoimmunity and Immune Regulation Team led by Professor Tim Tree https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/tree-group). The team aims to investigate how imbalances in the immune system contribute to range of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and develop and test immunotherapies to stop disease progression.
You will work on a new project investigating why some individuals are genetically protected from developing type 1 diabetes due to the presence of the HLA-DQ6 genotype. A better understanding of the cellular and molecular basis for DQ6-conferred susceptibility could lead to novel disease prevention strategies including refinements to antigen-specific immunotherapy approaches or adoptive Treg cell therapies. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with and using samples and data from the INNODIA global partnership (https://www.innodia.eu/)

11. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
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.
Application Deadline: 02 June 2024
12. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
In this project, funded by an internal MRC Impact Acceleration Award, we will use currently-collected patient imaging data to further develop computational pipelines to reconstruct personalised image-based computer models of a patient’s heart. Imaging data, from modalities such as Cardiac MRI and Cardiac CT will be combined in order to best represent the patient’s cardiac anatomy, as well as the underlying fibrosis and scar tissue which are responsible for driving the lethal ventricular arrhythmias to be treated. These patient models will then be used within our novel in-silico approach (patent filed) to rapidly simulate patient arrhythmias in near-real time. A crucial aspect of this work will be the further adaptation of this computational approach in order to automatically account for the inherent uncertainty in the clinical data, for example by considering different representations of the scar or of the functional parameters that go into the model.
Application Deadline: 02 June 2024
