1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Germline Genomics laboratory led by Dr Anjali Hinch at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford. The laboratory uses a combination of statistical, computational, and experimental approaches to understand how processes in our cells lead to changes in their DNA. These changes include errors (mutations) or shuffling up of chromosomes (recombination) in human eggs and sperm, which lead to genetic alterations that may be inherited by future generations.
Application Deadline: 31-Jul-2024

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Your scientific research will focus on the development of machine/deep learning-based medical image analysis methods for computerised tomography scans (CT scans). Key applications of such ML/DL methods are illustrated by our prior research (PMIDs 33913675, 33234786, 33630463, 35286501, each IP represented by a patent filing) where we showed the potential for such applications to be ‘platform technologies’. We will next iteratively refine the clinical applications in different anatomical regions and in different pathological contexts. A key focus will be further refining the method of ‘Digital FDG tracer’ for cancer imaging. You are strongly encouraged to read these prior publications prior to the panel interview.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This project will exploit state-of-the-art tools to understand the roles of Ca2+ influx, storage and signalling within dopamine axons in health and disease. Our recently published data suggests that the roles of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are dynamically regulated across striatal territories in a manner that correlates with risk factors of Parkinson’s (Brimblecombe et al 2023, PMID: 37941514). In this project, we will advance understanding of the downstream coupling of Ca2+ to mitochondrial function to better understand the selective vulnerability of a subset of DA neurons in Parkinson’s, and to inform druggable targets that could offer neuroprotective potential. We are now seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Scientist with a strong interest in Ca2+ biology and axon function to join us as part of this exciting collaboration.
Application Deadline: 01-Jul-2024
