Join the Manning Lab at the University of Manchester for a three-year, Wellcome-funded post investigating how cytonemes transmit Notch signals. Working within a collaborative Discovery Award with the University of Exeter, you will combine cell culture, live imaging, mouse embryo experiments and two-dimensional correlative light and electron microscopy to explore signalling during development.

Facilities for animal research are first rate and are validated by all the appropriate Home Office licences. However, if you have any medical, social or ethical reasons for avoiding work on experimental animals, then do not apply for this post.
