We are always looking for creative, curious, and motivated researchers at all career stages (undergrads to postdocs), who are excited about developing technologies and applying them to understand tissue biology.

We also want to hear from clinicians at all stages (from newly qualified doctor to consultant) who want to get involved in research. The LMS Chain Florey clinician scientist programme offers fellowships at every career stage, combining research training with clinical work.

Curiosity & Creativity

We believe that curiosity about how things work is essential to good science, and that creativity is what lets us build the new technologies needed to answer the questions we care most about.

Collaboration & Motivation

We strive to maintain a collaborative environment built on mutual respect. We look for motivated researchers who are engaged with the scientific questions that drive them and are excited about working with others.

Development

We want everyone in the lab to grow as scientists and as people. We provide mentorship at every level and actively support training opportunities for all lab members.

We are based at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) on the Hammersmith Hospital campus in west London, with access to the institute's core facilities.

Open positions

Postdoctoral research scientists

Postdoc · Ref 2953

Spatial lineage tracing and single-cell multiomics

Lead the group's work on resolving cell lineage in situ: building on Slide-tags to read somatic mutations and DNA methylation in single cells while keeping their spatial context, and applying this to clonal dynamics in human tissues. A mixed wet/dry, method-development post.

Closes 1 November 2026

Postdoc · Ref 2958

Environmental exposure screening

Establish the group's exposure screening capability: platforms that test many chemicals in parallel with multiplexed, sequencing-based readouts. The post can follow an in vitro strand (organoids or primary human cells) or an in vivo strand (hands-on in vivo experience and a Home Office personal licence, or readiness to obtain one, required).

Closes 1 November 2026
