Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Parkinson’s Disease, CRISPR Functional Genomics and Neuronal Mitochondrial Biology University of Oxford 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...

Research Associate in Structural Cell Biology at The Rosalind Franklin Institute (Harwell, United Kingdom). This is a postdoctoral opening focused on structural cell biology , cryo-electron tomography , in-situ structural biology , and computational reconstruction of macromolecular structures from human tissue data. The Grange group is developing tools to image the 3-dimensional organisation of macromolecular complexes within brain tissues, using fast vitrification of surgical biopsies, cryo-foc...

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...

Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh This is a full-time, fixed-term 12-month postdoctoral opening in the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences / School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Edinburgh , United Kingdom. The project sits in the Mahad lab and focuses on the mechanisms of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis , with a particular emphasis on mitochondria , mitochondrial function , and mitochondrial DNA . The successful candidate wil...
