Job Details
Are you Research Technician looking for a new challenge?
Do you have an interest in cardiovascular disease and regenerative medicine?
Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?
A Research Technician is required to support the work in Leeds as part of the BHF-funded Oxbridge Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM). You will be establishing and providing surgical animal models for the study of cardiovascular disease and regeneration, and perform routine MRI phenotyping experiments on these models. The project, which is intially funded for 12 months with the scope for extension by 3 years, will be carried out at the the Experimental and Preclinical Imaging Centre ( ePIC ), which is a British Heart Foundation funded preclinical imaging facility. The facility has the latest generation of multi-modal imaging equipment, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 7 Tesla, positron emission tomography (PET) / single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT), optical imaging, ultrasound, micro computed tomography (µCT), and a state-of-the-art surgical suite.
Working closely with a multi-disciplinary research team, including medical physicists with particular expertise in MRI, clinicians and basic scientists, you will support the Oxbridge CRM research programme in cardiac regeneration at ePIC . Specific duties will include the supply of animals and/or samples derived from rodent (mouse; neonatal and adult) heart injury/regeneration models myocardial infarction, as well as routine MRI imaging and data analysis. Training for all aspects will be provided as required.
You will have a BSc and Masters (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline such as (but not limited to) physiology, cardiovascular sciences, medical imaging or similar and direct practical experience of surgical small animal models. A Home Office Personal license (Modules 1-4) is also essential.
