    We are seeking applications from highly motivated individuals for a post-doctoral Research Associate working with the groups of Prof Caleb Webber and Dr Beccano-Kelly at the Dementia Research Centre in Cardiff University.

    The role will be focussed on the use of iPSC models of dopaminergic neurons and other cell types to understand the molecular dysfunction and genetic influences towards Parkinson's Disease.

    We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with clear goals, a proactive and flexible attitude to work, and an interest in learning new concepts and technologies.

    The Centre provides an excellent research environment in an international and interactive atmosphere.

    The UK DRI is a new well-funded institute focused on elucidating and targeting the pathways and mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease.

    You will work in a multidisciplinary environment with opportunities to grow your science.

    Beyond this, the UK DRI provides a premier research network across the UK and provides opportunities specifically for early career researchers (ECR), including scientific meetings, training opportunities and ECR-focussed funding calls.

    You should have a PhD degree in neuroscience, stem cell research or equivalent experience.

    Experience in human pluripotent stem cell culture, neuronal differentiation techniques and cellular phenotyping would be highly advantageous, as would experience in cellular imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and immunohistochemistry and/or RNA sequencing preparation.

    For informal enquiries please contact Professor Caleb Webber on


    This post is full-time (35 hours per week), available from 1st January 2024 and fixed term until 31st December 2027 based at the Hadyn Ellis Building, Cathays campus.


    Salary:
    £39,347 - £44,263 per annum (Grade 6). Appointments to roles at Cardiff University are usually made at bottom of scale unless in exceptional circumstances.


    The majority of roles at Cardiff University are currently operating under "blended working" arrangements, with staff having the flexibility to work partly from home and partly from the University campus depending on specific business requirements.

    Discussions around these arrangements can take place after the successful candidate has been appointed.


    Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave (incl bank holidays), local pension scheme, a cycle to work scheme and other travel initiatives, annual increments within the pay scale, and more.

    It is an exciting and vibrant place to work, with many different challenges and is a proud Living Wage supporter.

    How we will support you in performing in this role –


    There are some things that you must have before you can start this role (see 'Essential Criteria'), but other things can be developed either through training, or just by general on-the-job experience.

    We want to support and develop you once you have started in the role using a combination of the following to get the best out of you:


    • Regular one-to-ones with your manager
    • An experienced and supportive team around you
    • Supporting you through job-relevant training and development that you may require
    • A mentoring scheme
    Date advert posted:
    Wednesday, 3 April 2024

    Closing date:
    Wednesday, 1 May 2024


    Please be aware that Cardiff University reserves the right to close this vacancy early should sufficient applications be received.

    Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment.

    We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds.

    We therefore welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age.

    In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.


    Cardiff University is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which means that in hiring and promotion decisions we will evaluate applicants on the quality of their research, not publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which the research is published.

    Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
