The Rosalind Franklin Institute (the Franklin) is a technology institute established by the UK Government as a unique centre committed to advancing tools that are needed to transform healthcare in the future.
The Institute brings together researchers in life and physical sciences, and engineering, to develop a spectrum of tools which we will use to image, interpret and intervene in biological systems. These insights will speed up the discovery of new medicines, help find new diagnostics and contribute to a deeper understanding of human health and disease. Our Science Strategy seeks to focus the Franklin's research and unite our researchers around our Technology Innovation Challenges and Life Science Challenges.

If you are a creative scientist who would like to work in collaboration between biophysics, structural biology and biochemistry, then join us. Our labs (Pombo-Garcia & Wu)are interested in molecular organisation of cell interfaces in the epithelial tissue and glycobiology. We use super-resolution STED microscopy, CryoET, in combination with biophysics and chemical biology, to uncover how epithelial cells organise in space and time underdifferent physico-chemical environments to drive self-organisation processes, like condensates, that shape mesoscale structures enabling tissue function.
As a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Rosalind Franklin Institute, you will bring scientific knowledge and skills to deliver a specific research project and/or you will bring independent, creative science, or specific skills to a team delivering a project or program. Through this work, you will build scientific independence, develop new science and leadership skills, and establish a growing reputation externally. Your role will be to lead a research project focused on developing tools for quantitative imaging of epithelial cell biology and biophysics. Moreover, you will support and develop novel workflows of bioimaging analysis to quantify advanced imaging data generated by super-resolution STED microscopy, FLIM, FRET and FCS.
From £39,500 per annum (depending on skills and experience)
