Positions available
Post-doctoral Scientist – Vascular biology
HRI is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in vascular biology to join our dynamic Vascular Complications Group and Centre for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). This project aims to advance our understanding of how endothelial health influences the development and progression of diabetes-associated PAD. The successful candidate will investigate how diabetes alters endothelial function, vascular signalling, inflammation, and microvascular structure, and how these changes contribute to impaired blood flow and poor tissue repair in the lower limbs. Using a combination of human samples, endothelial cell models, and in vivo approaches, the project will identify key endothelial pathways that drive microvascular dysfunction in diabetes. The outcomes will provide new mechanistic insights into the vascular complications of diabetes and support the discovery of biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve limb perfusion and clinical outcomes in people with PAD. This position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research while developing your scientific career. This is a full-time role, initially appointed for 1 year, with the possibility of extension up to 2 years. Find out more and apply.
