Postdoc Opportunities in Microscopy 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 MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), part of UK Research and Innovation, is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Scientist to work in Dr Greg Jefferis’s group in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The project focuses on molecular connectomics in Drosophila . The successful researcher will develop methods to map neuronal gene and protein expression onto reference electron-microscopy connectomes and apply these approaches to investigate the development and organisation of sexually dimorphic neura...

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), based in the Centre for Cell Biology and Cutaneous Research, Blizard Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, QM London. This 18-month full-time post is part of a larger multi-disciplinary project funded by the Leo Foundation. The successful researcher will investigate how the ageing tissue microenvironment influences skin inflammation and immunity, with a particular focus on spatial transcriptomic and biomechanical ...

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 ...

Aston University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in membrane protein folding and assembly within the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The project is part of a newly funded BBSRC Pioneer Award and focuses on the fundamental principles governing mammalian membrane protein biogenesis . The successful candidate will use dynamic mass photometry (DMP) , a label-free single-particle tracking technique, together with cell-free method...

The project sits at the intersection of chemistry , materials science , biology , and microscopy . The successful candidate will work with Dr Dominik Kubicki and Birmingham’s Facility for Electron Microscopy, alongside protein scientists, materials chemists, and engineers. The core task is ...

Research Assistant / Postdoctoral Research Assistant opportunity at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, focused on Candida urinary tract infections (UTIs), fungal pathogenesis, and novel treatment strategies. The project is funded by the Urology Foundation and sits within a translational research programme examining how metabolic factors influence the ability of Candida spp. to cause fungal UTIs. The successful candidate will work with microbiological and cell culture approaches,...

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Genetics , working with Dr Felipe Karam Teixeira on germline differentiation and oogenesis in the Drosophila female germline . The project investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive developmental switches required for oocyte formation, with a focus on how transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and chromatin-associated mechanisms coordinate differentiation in vivo. The research env...
