About us
The Francis Crick Institute is Europes largest biomedical research institute under one roof. Our worldclass scientists and staff collaborate on vital research to help prevent diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer heart disease infectious diseases and neurodegenerative conditions.
The Crick is a place for collaboration innovation and exploration across many disciplines. A space where the brightest minds can pursue big and bold ideas and discover answers to crucial scientific questions. We support them in a dynamic environment which fosters excellence with stateoftheart infrastructure cuttingedge facilities and a creative and curious culture. Weve removed traditional boundaries of departments divisions and disciplines and instead have an open approach that supports every researcher. This gives us the freedom to take risks and carry out highquality pioneering research. Creating a space for discovery without boundaries helps us to turn our science into benefits for human health and the economy.
About the role
The Gutierrez lab is in the research group Hostpathogen interactions in tuberculosis and has a longstanding interest in developing novel human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)based in vitro models of complex disease to study infection and treatment (Pellegrino et al.2021; Aylan et al. 2023; Bussi et al. 2023. The SLRS position has been created to ensure the successful implementation of projects that aim to develop bioengineered stem cells based cellular systems to better understand lung infection and treatment. Specifically we are engineering physiologically inspired human lung models combining human (iPSC) technologies with microfluidic devices.
This role is critical to generate tools and perform cellbased experiments requiring substantial experience in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) culture differentiation and reprogramming. Experience in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is desirable. You will be part of a diverse and collegial team focused on advancing human iPSCderived technologies to study infection and treatment. You will provide deep technical knowledge and handson expertise in the culture characterization and differentiation of human iPSCs into lung cells.
