    Description

    About us

    The Department of Neuromuscular Diseases at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology (IoN) has a longstanding history of excellence in primary mitochondrial disorders research, including the first description of mutations in mitochondrial DNA causing disease published in Nature in 1988. Our work involves projects that are focused on understanding the impact of mitochondrial genes variants on lipid metabolism and the clinical phenotype, in addition to understanding mitochondrial disease mechanisms, with the ultimate aim of developing treatments.

    About the role

    We are seeking a Research Assistant to work under the supervision of Professor Rob Pitceathly and Dr Micol Falabella in the lab, which is part of several world class initiatives, including the MRC-funded Cardiolipin metabolism in mitochondrial DNA replication and division project, the Genome Editing Mice for Medicine call (MRC Harwell), and 5-year MRC International Centre for Neuromuscular diseases.

    You will work on developing and validating in vitro cellular models of primary mitochondrial diseases and testing the effect of novel and known small molecules on mitochondrial activity in our in vitro and in vivo preclinical platforms. Alongside this, you will be involved in ongoing lab projects, contributing to publications and provide technical support to Professor Pitceathly and his team.

    You will be responsible for culturing a range of cell models, DNA and RNA extraction from human cells and tissues (e.g., skeletal muscle) and performing basic molecular biology experiments (e.g., cloning and PCR).

    You will receive training in, and be responsible for, initial data review of samples, processing, and analysis.

    The post is available immediately and funded by an industry award for one year or to 07 July 2025, whichever is earlier, in the first instance.

    For a full job description and to apply for this role please visit UCL's online recruitment portal and search using vacancy reference B

    About you

    You will have a degree (minimum 2:1) in Biological Sciences or a related discipline, or a MSc/another degree in a relevant subject. A background in molecular biology or cell culture techniques and experience of working with human and/or murine tissues, DNA, RNA, and western blot is also required for this role.

    What we offer

    The role is offered with salary in the range of £37,332 - £39,980 per annum including London Allowance.
