Post-doctoral position available

[Adam]

Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the research group of Professor Andrew Halestrap to investigate mitochondrial function in the normal and ischaemic/reperfused heart. The major focus will be on the mechanisms by which ischemia induces cytochrome c release, a critical factor mediating the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induces injury during reperfusion, and the mechanisms by which ischaemic preconditioning prevents this.   Previous experience of perfusing isolated rat hearts is essential. The successful candidate will join a vibrant and well-equipped laboratory which forms part of the Bristol Heart Institute.  The 15 month position is funded by The British Heart Foundation at a salary of £31,020 - £31,948pa and is available immediately.
