    Description

    UK Dementia Research Institute
    Division of Infection and Immunity
    Cardiff University School of Medicine
    College of Biomedical and Life Sciences

    The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) is the biggest UK initiative supporting dementia research.

    The UK DRI at Cardiff is one of 7 UK centres bringing together world-leading scientists to deliver a step-change in the scientific understanding of dementia, generating new targets for drug development, reinvigorating the therapeutic pipeline and helping to transform care.

    Our strategy is to build upon research strengths in dementia genetics, immunology, computational analytics, cellular and whole system modelling and neuroimaging to identify disease mechanisms and therapies for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases and other dementias.


    As part of our continued growth, a new and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate, to join the UK DRI team based at the Hadyn Ellis Building, Cathays, Cardiff.

    The selected candidate will join the team of Professor Phil Taylor, who is investigating the role of microglia in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease in order to identify new targets for therapy.

    This project will examine the regulation of microglial activation in vivo and explore the potential for its control as a therapeutic approach and will achieve these techniques such as in vivo gene regulation and single cell sequencing.

    The successful candidate will have a PhD or equivalent in a relevant area and will conduct research within the specialist areas of neuroinflammation/ neuroscience/immunology, or relevant industrial experience.


    Informal enquires should be made to Professor Phil Taylor via email:

    This post is full time (35 hours per week), available immediately and fixed term for a period of 30 months.



    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.

    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.



    Closing Date:
    Tuesday, 30 April 2024




    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.
