Postdoc Opportunities in Cell Biology in United Kingdom

The Babraham Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to study the role of extracellular proteostasis in healthy ageing and host defence against pathogens. The project addresses mechanisms that maintain protein quality outside cells and prevent protein aggregation, a process associated with age-related functional decline and diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. The successful researcher will join the David group within the Institute’s Signalling Programme, a collaborative resea...

The University of Manchester is recruiting a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Kulathu group in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Function, School of Biological Sciences. The project investigates how different ubiquitin signals direct cellular outcomes, with a focus on polyubiquitin chains and cellular quality control. The researcher will develop a nanobody toolkit to recognise distinct polyubiquitin linkages and enable new experiments in ubiquitin biology. T...

Queen Mary University of London is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate for a 3.5-year project in the Barts Cancer Institute. The ARIA-funded epiPRIME: epigenetically programmed resilience through innate memory engineering project aims to use epigenetic editing in cell lines and primary cells to induce antiviral immunity in human cells in vivo. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct laboratory experiments and collaborate with computational epigeneticists, immunologists and ch...

The University of Oxford is recruiting a Senior Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the internationally recognised Oxford Endometriosis CaRe Centre (EndoCaRe) within the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health. Based at the Women’s Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, the postholder will contribute to a translational research programme conducted in collaboration with Hirundo Biosciences. The research will translate human genetic discoveries into potential new treatments fo...

The University of Birmingham is seeking a Research Fellow to join the Morris lab in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, School of Medical Sciences. Based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom, the full-time fixed-term position runs through November 2029 and is supported by a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award .

Postdoctoral Research Scientist opportunity in mitochondrial biology at the CRUK Scotland Institute in Glasgow. The post sits within the ARIA-funded Precision Mitochondria programme and the CONTROL-MITO team, which is developing a chemical-genetic toolkit to switch specific mitochondrial proteins on and off using small molecules. The project focuses on engineered mitochondrial DNA expression, maintenance, and transfer in vivo, with a strong emphasis on mitochondrial phenotyping in bioengineered ...

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London (Blizard Institute, Centre for Bone and Joint Health) in London, United Kingdom . This fixed-term, full-time role (18 months) supports a research programme led by Dr Massimo Ganassi on human muscle ageing and sarcopenia . The project focuses on understanding mechanisms that impair muscle regeneration during ageing and evaluating candidate interventions. The successful candidate will develop and characterise in vitro human muscle ...

University of Oxford is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Epitranscriptomics at the Target Discovery Institute, NDM Research Building, Old Road Campus, Headington, Oxford, United Kingdom. The project sits in Dr Chunxiao Song’s research group and focuses on DNA and RNA modifications , especially pseudouridine and pseudouridine synthases (PUS) , with applications in cancer , diagnostics, and therapeutics. The group develops technologies to map epigenetic and epitranscriptomic marks a...
