About this position

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the field of amyloid biophysics, cell biology, and cryoEM/electron tomography at the University of Leeds. These roles are funded by a 6-year Wellcome grant and will be based in The Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology. The research will focus on the biophysical and cellular aspects of amyloid, as well as advanced structural techniques such as cryo-electron microscopy and electron tomography. The positions are supervised by Professor Sheena Radford and Dr. Neil Ranson, both leading experts in structural molecular biology.

The Astbury Centre at the University of Leeds is renowned for its interdisciplinary research in biophysics and molecular biology, providing an excellent environment for postdoctoral researchers interested in amyloid research, protein structure, and advanced imaging techniques. The successful candidates will join a vibrant research community and have access to state-of-the-art facilities.

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline such as biophysics, cell biology, or structural biology. Experience in amyloid research, cryoEM, or electron tomography is highly desirable. The positions are open to all qualified candidates, and the official adverts will be posted in mid January. Interested individuals are encouraged to monitor the University of Leeds and Astbury Centre websites for the application call and to share this opportunity with colleagues who may be interested.

Funding for these positions is provided by Wellcome, ensuring a stable and well-supported research environment. For more information about the supervisors, see Professor Sheena Radford's LinkedIn profile.

Funding details
