This is a 3 year fixed term post.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position to work on a BBSRC-funded project entitled - FSTL3: A REGULATOR OF SERTOLI CELL PROLIFERATION

The Project: The aims of this project are to: (1) determine the mechanism for the increase in Sertoli cell numbers in FSTL3 KO mouse testes, (2) examine whether testis specific or postnatal deletion of FSTL3 leads to increased testicular size and function and (3) elucidate signalling and transcriptional pathways underlying the increased testicular size in FSTL3 KO mice. This research will reveal mechanisms in place to limit Sertoli cell numbers and testicular structure and function.

The Successful Candidate: We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with a PhD in biological or biomedical science, high quality publications in peer reviewed international journals and experience in testicular biology and the mouse model system.

The Setting: The successful candidate will join a collaborative group of researchers in the Veterinary Basic Sciences Department of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC). The RVC is located in central London with a strong research environment and excellent facilities.  It also benefits from its closeness to other institutions nearby, allowing for interactions and collaborations with a large number of research programmes
