We are looking to appoint a post doctoral scientist to join the cell signalling group led by Professor Andrew Tobin to work on a project investigating the role of a family of G-protein coupled receptors called the free fatty acid receptor family and in collaboration with Professor Graeme Milligan and the pharmaceutical company Astra Zeneca.

This project specifically will use a range of techniques including molecular pharmacology, biochemistry and transgenic animals.
