Join to apply for the
Research Associate in Wound Healing
role at
University of Bristol - School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience . 5 days ago be among the first 25 applicants.
Overview A post‑doctoral position is available to join a team of researchers in Bristol investigating the genetic basis of wound repair and defence. Inspired by leads from a comparative proteomic study of plant versus fish wound responses, this role will test how candidate “repair and defence” genes influence inflammation and other tissue damage responses to drive good and bad repair outcomes. Experiments will include live‑imaging, immunohistochemical, and transcriptomic studies of wound repair using zebrafish and Arabidopsis models.
You will join the lab of Professor Paul Martin.
Funds for this position are available until 31/12/2026.
Responsibilities
Design and conduct in silico bioinformatic and live‑imaging experiments to investigate conserved wound repair genes and how they might impact various aspects of tissue repair and cell defence in animals and plants.
Utilise genetic and chemical knockout and knockdown approaches to test the function of candidate genes in zebrafish and Arabidopsis. Readouts will include immunohistochemistry, light and TEM imaging approaches.
Analyse and interpret experimental results; contribute to manuscript preparation and scientific dissemination.
Engage in collaborative research within the department and wider university research networks.
Qualifications
PhD (awarded or imminent) in a biological or biomedical science.
Prior knowledge of tissue repair/regeneration or inflammation and experience of live imaging or working with tissue samples.
Previous experience with zebrafish and/or Arabidopsis is highly desirable but not essential.
Highly organised, eager to learn new skills, ambitious, and able to interact with a broad range of colleagues.
Additional Information Contract type: Fixed Term until 31/12/2026.
Work pattern: Full time.
Grade: I.
Salary: £39,906 - £44,746 per annum.
School/Unit: School of Biochemistry.
For informal queries please contact Professor Paul Martin, Professor of Cell Biology, via email: Paul.Martin@bristol.ac.uk.
This advert will close at 23:59 UK time on Monday 12th January 2026. Interviews will be held on Thursday 22nd January 2026.
EEO Statement The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want to attract, develop, and retain individuals with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives – particularly people of colour, LGBT+ and disabled people – because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our excellence as a global civic institution.
