Designation
Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area
Cancer biology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, haematopoiesis.
Location
Francis Crick Institute, London, UK
Eligibility/Qualification
Essential
- PhD in immunology, cancer biology, biochemistry, or cell biology (or in the final stages of PhD submission).
- Knowledge and experience in immunology or cancer biology.
- Technical expertise in mouse work and microscopy.
- Experience with experimental design.
- Track record of writing papers as evidenced by publications or submitted manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals.

Job Description
Dr. Adrover’s laboratory investigates how cancer affects whole-body physiology, particularly the cardiovascular and immune systems. This project will focus on understanding how cancer-induced changes in the haematopoietic stem cell compartment lead to cardiovascular diseases in cancer patients. Specific aims include:
- Analyzing the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell compartment in murine models.
- Studying the role of neutrophils and other innate immune populations in models of cardiovascular disease.
- Using intravital imaging techniques to observe neutrophil behavior in tumor-bearing mice.
The successful candidate will lead their own projects, collaborate on various research initiatives, and possibly mentor PhD students. Teamwork is essential for this role.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should apply through the Francis Crick Institute’s website. All applications must include:
- A detailed CV.
