We seek a highly motived researcher with well-developed analytical skills and a passion for muscle research. This post is an exciting opportunity to contribute to projects within the newly established Cellular & Molecular Physiology of Lifelong Health (CaMP-LH) group at the Research Institute of Sport & Exercise Sciences. 

You will use our in-house Dynamic Proteome Profiling techniques to study muscle ageing and exercise responses. In addition, you will conduct routine proteomic and metabolomic analyses of bodily fluids, and it is likely that you will also contribute to the development of new mass spectrometry methods for the analysis of post-translational modifications. Prior experience in proteomics is required and you should have a PhD in a field closely related to the project. 

Informal enquires can be made to Prof. Jatin Burniston (j.burniston@ljmu.ac.uk). 

Completed applications, including a personal statement and full academic CV, must be submitted attached to your application. 

It is anticipated that interviews will take on 12th April 2023. 

The School/ department is committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN Gender Equality charter for promoting the career of Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) in higher education. We particularly welcome applications from women for this post and all appointments will be made on merit.

Please note all of our vacancies will be closed to applications at midnight on the advertised closing date, unless otherwise stated.
