Research Fellow in Microfluidics for Deformation Cytometry Based Cell Sorting

Do you hold a PhD in experimental Physics, Materials Science or a closely related discipline? Do you have expertise in microfluidics, cell sorting and deformation cytometry characterisation? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

We are looking for a self-motivated, enthusiastic and ambitious postdoctoral research fellow to join the multidisciplinary and highly collaborative Molecular and Nanoscale Physics group in the School of Physics and Astronomy. You will build on our current expertise in Deformability Cytometry to develop a Deformation Cytometry Based Cell Sorter. Working closely with colleagues from the Faculties of  Biological Sciences and Medicine and Health, you will be involved in developing a new approach for identifying and separating cells based on their mechanical deformability.

Our ambition is to create a platform that can be used to sort and classify cell types based on their mechanical deformability to: i) help diagnose disease states, ii) to aid therapeutic testing and iii) to deepen our understanding of the link between genetics and biophysical phenotypes – in particular with reference to cancer.

You will work collaboratively with people from other disciplines using cutting-edge rapid prototyping and microfluidics techniques. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of critical problem-solving and innovation, and a commitment to a career in science. You will share our values of inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration, and strive to be an academic role model and mentor.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
