Your work will contribute to a programme with demonstrable NHS and patient impact.
The group is housed in the Van Geest Multi-Omics Laboratory, led by Professor Don Jones, a internationally recognised authority in mass spectrometry and metabolomics whose work spans cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, and translational analytical science. Working within this environment provides exceptional breadth of scientific exposure and cross-disciplinary collaboration opportunities rarely available in a single laboratory setting.
The group holds active MRC funding, has submitted to a major European consortium, and is developing a sustained national and European research pipeline through 2027 and beyond. You will join at a pivotal moment of growth.
The groupis dynamic and friendly and has a strong culture of mentorship and values scientific curiosity at every career stage
