PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on Targeting Immune Cell Trafficking to Treat Neurological Disorders . This project focuses on inflammatory peripheral neuropathies , where the immune system attacks peripheral nerves and causes weakness, numbness, pain, and impaired mobility. The research aims to identify whether a specific immune-cell trafficking pathway drives immune-cell accumulation in affected nerves and whether blocking this pathway...

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 Mitochondrial Genetic Determinants of Multiple Sclerosis . This project investigates how mitochondrial genetic variants influence the outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS) . The research builds on prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have identified more than 200 autosomal variants associated with MS, while extending the analysis to the mitochondrial genome. Using a dedicated mitochondrial var...

About this position

Postdoctoral researcher opportunity in neuroimmunology, immunology, neurology, and medical science at the University of Oxford. The role is within the Inflammatory Neuropathy Research Group at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences and focuses on the immunology of Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN).

This is a 3-year translational research programme funded by the GBS|CIDP Foundation International. The project aims to decode and monitor pathogenic B-cell clones and autoantibodies driving MMN, with the goal of informing next-generation disease-modifying therapies.

Research methods include advanced immunophenotyping, single-cell technologies, B-cell receptor sequencing, antibody cloning and characterisation, human iPSC-derived motor neuron models, and longitudinal immune monitoring.

The successful candidate will work under the joint supervision of Prof Simon Rinaldi and Nicolas Dubuisson. The position has an international structure: 18 months at Oxford focused on identifying and characterising pathogenic B-cell clones, followed by 18 months at UCLouvain in Belgium developing antibody production, characterisation, and therapeutic testing pipelines while remaining employed by Oxford.

Applicants should have a strong background in neurology, immunology, neuroscience, molecular biology, or related biomedical disciplines, and a strong interest in translational research with direct patient relevance.

Deadline: 17 June 2026, 12:00 noon (UK time). Location: Oxford, UK and Brussels, Belgium. Salary: £39,424–£47,779 per annum.
