The HONEI Project is seeking to employ a laboratory-based research fellow to join our studies on the human absorption, metabolism and novel biological activities of dietary components, specifically toward the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals.
HONEI is part of the Centre for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research (CCMR) at Hull York Medical School (HYMS), and is a multidisciplinary project conducting translational research into the impact of diet on human health.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a Ph.D. in a biological discipline and significant experience of working within an in vitro biological research environment. Candidates will also have a strong interest in the critical role of diet in modulating human health. The proven ability to develop and manage research projects is essential.
