Dear all

The Weavers Group at the University of Bristol is recruiting a Post-doc to join a Wellcome Trust-funded programme aimed at uncovering the dynamic cell biology supporting tissue function and repair.

Our group studies the cellular mechanisms that enable tissues to thrive, particularly under challenge. Here, we will probe how cell biology is precisely patterned across vulnerable tissues, and why its dysregulation drives ageing and disease. This work builds on our recent findings showing how stress responses and metabolism are coordinated across healthy and damaged tissues (e.g. Holcombe & Weavers Nature Communications 2023).

The Position is available for three years in the first instance, from January 2027, although the start date is negotiable. Applications will close on 14th October 2026. Please see the online advert (https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DSY450/research-associate-in-dynamic-tissue-biology). Informal enquiries to Dr Helen Weavers (Helen.weavers at bristol.ac.uk<mailto:Helen.weavers at bristol.ac.uk>) are welcome.

Many thanks in advance for sharing these opportunities across your networks.
Helen
