Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neurodegeneration, Multiple Sclerosis, and Mitochondrial Function University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

Postdoctoral Research Assistant vacancy at the University of Oxford, in DPAG, focused on Parkinson’s disease and neuron metabolism. The project uses CRISPRi/a screens in iPSC-derived neurons to investigate how Parkinson’s genetics alter mitochondria. This is a strong fit for candidates with interests in neuroscience, biology, medical science, neurodegeneration, mitochondrial function, and functional genomics. The post is advertised as a postdoc-level research assistant role. The announcement doe...

Two postdoctoral fellow positions are available in neurobiology at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr Michel Goedert . The project focuses on the mechanisms underlying the assembly of alpha-synuclein into the amyloid filaments found in Lewy body diseases and multiple system atrophy in human brains. These are three-year positions funded by an ASAP (Aligning Science Across Parkinson's) grant. The collaboration includes researchers at MRC-LMB , University College London , University of...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on programmed axon death , SARM1 , NMNAT2 , and protein design . The project focuses on understanding the mechanism of programmed axon death, an intrinsic axonal death pathway implicated in neurodegenerative disease and injury. The work will use rational protein design to create variant forms of SARM1 or hybrid reporter constructs to study activation, stability, enzyme activity, and post-translational modi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on retrograde mitochondrial signalling, epigenetic reprogramming, glial toxicity, and neuroinflammation in progressive multiple sclerosis . The project focuses on how mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial stress trigger nuclear signalling and epigenetic changes that may drive astrocytes toward a dysfunctional disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) phenotype. The work is strongly research-oriented...
