Research Associate – Molecular Neurodegeneration Full-time NEW

Research Associate – Molecular Neurodegeneration

Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, New Biochemistry Building, Oxford, UK

We are seeking an ambitious and highly motivated researcher to contribute to a programme of research investigating molecular mechanisms that underpin the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. The study will involve the use of iPSC-based models as well as interrogation of pathways identified from previous studies in the lab. As such, the post will offer an excellent opportunity for mechanistic research using state-of-the-art models and facilities available at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery and Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford. The post-holder will work alongside a multidisciplinary team in the Molecular Neurodegeneration Research Group.

You will have an aptitude for mechanistic studies with a proven track record of research in cellular and molecular biology as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, and the ability to work collaboratively within a team. The post is suitable for a post-doctoral researcher with external funding.

This post is full time, fixed term until 14 November 2028. Only applications received before midday 12:00 on Monday 19th October 2026 will be considered. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
