About this position
Two postdoctoral positions are available in the joint laboratory of Sheena Radford and Neil Ranson at the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, University of Leeds. The research focuses on 'Understanding Amyloidosis – From test tube to tissue,' with one position specializing in cryoEM/ET (structural biology) and the other in cell biology/biochemistry. The project aims to uncover the mechanisms of protein aggregation into amyloid, which is associated with diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Type 2 diabetes.
The positions are funded as part of a 6-year Discovery Award programme by the Wellcome Trust, providing access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment. Successful candidates will join a dynamic and collaborative research team dedicated to advancing knowledge in protein misfolding and amyloid formation.
Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant field such as structural biology, cell biology, or biochemistry, and have experience in either cryoEM/ET or cell biology/biochemistry, depending on the position applied for. A strong passion for research in protein aggregation and amyloid diseases is essential. The University of Leeds offers a supportive environment for postdoctoral researchers, with opportunities for professional development and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply via the University of Leeds jobs website using the specific links for each position. The application deadline is March 8, 2026. For more information, refer to the official job postings or contact the supervisors via their academic or LinkedIn profiles.
