Postdoc Opportunities in Neuroscience in United Kingdom

The Ellison Institute of Technology’s Institute of Materials & Devices for Life Sciences (MDLS) is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for its interdisciplinary Tissue Programme in Oxford, United Kingdom. Led by Dr Linna Zhou and Professor Hagan Bayley, the programme develops technologies for fabricating three-dimensional living, synthetic and hybrid tissues. The research aims to create functional, patterned tissues for modelling human disease, testing therapeutics, modulating tissue function an...

Queen Mary University of London is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join Dr Ezra Aksoy’s research group at the William Harvey Research Institute. The project focuses on innate immunity and infection, with particular emphasis on how the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) of Campylobacter jejuni drives bacterial competition, intestinal colonisation and host immune responses. The research brings together molecular microbiology, infection biology, bacterial pathogenesis and mucosal immun...

The University of Exeter is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join its Technology Enabled Rehabilitation research team in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The project focuses on developing home-based rehabilitation for stroke and other neurological or ageing disorders, combining clinical expertise with experimental psychology, biomechanics, physiotherapy and mathematical methods. Working within the National Institute for Health and Care Research Exeter Biomedical Research Centre, the ...

Professor Bart Hoogenboom’s lab at University College London is welcoming new team members for a postdoctoral vacancy and funded PhD positions. The research focuses on using advanced atomic force microscopy to investigate bacterial surfaces and industrial filtration membranes. This work brings together biophysics, microscopy, bacterial cell biology, and materials science to examine the structure and properties of complex biological and industrial membrane systems. Researchers joining the lab wil...

Birkbeck, University of London is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ESRC-supported project “Spontaneous movement to music in toddlers.” The project investigates why and how toddlers dance to music, focusing on the early development of movement–sound alignment and its relationship to social cognition, conversational turn-taking and musical performance. The research will address the emergence, form and function of spontaneous dancing in toddlers, a behaviour reported by parents in very ...

The University of Birmingham is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Psychology, based at the Centre for Human Brain Health in Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK. The fixed-term appointment runs until November 2028 and carries a starting salary of £36,636–£46,049, with potential progression to £48,822. Working with Professor Ron Mangun and the wider research team, the postholder will contribute to human cognitive neuroscience research on visual processing and attention, re...

The University of York is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Immunology to join Dr Ioannis Kourtzelis’s group at Hull York Medical School. The project examines the regulation of innate immune responses and macrophage-mediated mechanisms that shape health and disease. As part of the ARIA-funded Sustained Viral Resilience programme, the successful researcher will investigate sustained innate immunoprophylactics based on engineered lipid nanoparticles targeting lung-mediated imm...

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...

UK Research and Innovation is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scientist in Neurobiology to work at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The three-year, full-time position is based in the Kornfeld and Jefferis groups and focuses on understanding how behaviours are encoded in the brain’s synaptic networks. The successful researcher will develop and apply novel approaches for large-scale connectomics, mapping and analysing synaptic connections in vertebrate and invertebra...
