Postdoctoral Associate in Developmental Biology: A postdoctoral research associate position is available with the Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences business unit, specifically within the Department of Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology at King’s College London. This position, under the supervision of Prof. Jeremy Green, is part of a newly-funded BBSRC project focused on “Mechanisms of Ventral Closure.” The project aims to investigate the cellular and molecular events that lead to ventral closure during development, with implications for understanding birth defects. Cutting-edge biophysical techniques, advanced microscopy, and genetically engineered mouse models will be utilized for this research. The labs are well-established and located at the Centre for Craniofacial Regeneration and Biology on the Guy’s Hospital Campus.
