The vision group investigates various aspects of paediatric and adult eye disease from very clinical projects to lab based and genetic studies in-house with multiple collaborations between PI’s in the vision research group. This role is to support those aspects of projects related to stem cell work. Importantly, this includes regular but minimal weekend maintenance work and covering other staff duties where necessary. Hence, this exciting role offers the opportunity to work at the interphase of cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research on multiple ophthalmic disorders. You will join a vibrant and dynamic research group and be expected to work as a team with other postdocs, PhD/undergraduate students, clinician scientists and technicians as part of the wider vision research group. You will collaborate with colleagues across Faculties of Medicine and Biological Sciences at the University of Southampton and colleagues in other institutions. The candidate can expect a collegial and research-focused environment with mentoring and career development support from the line manager Jorn Lakowski and the other vision groups PI team.  The post is available for a period of 2 years in the first instance. Interviews for shortlisted candidates are likely to be held in March/April 2026. Informal inquires may be directed to Dr. Jorn Lakowski (J.Lakowski@soton.ac.uk).
