Fellowship Opportunity in Neurodegeneration with focus on risk factors and diagnostic/ progress - Manchester, United Kingdom - Manchester Metropolitan University
Description
Fellowship Opportunity in Neurodegeneration with focus on risk factors and diagnostic/ progression biomarkers
As we celebrate our 200th year of Manchester Met, we are delighted to be launching our ' Third Century Fellowship Scheme '.
The Fellowship Scheme is aimed at exceptional researchers, in the early stages of their post-doctoral career, who aim to make their mark in the field of independent research. You will have extensive experience and a notable track record of research outputs in your area of research.
By joining our Fellowship Scheme, you'll play a leading part in our global research offering and join our community, working collaboratively across multidisciplinary and diverse teams with state-of-the-art facilities and work environment.
Successful applicants will benefit from:
During the term of the fellowship, you will be publishing internationally excellent and world-leading outputs and will be pursuing external funding opportunities to realise your future research ambitions. You will also have the opportunity, when relevant, to prepare and deliver short courses.
The Scheme begins with an initial appointment to a fixed-term post with the expectation to transition to a permanent Senior Lecturer or as a Reader, after three years, dependant on your performance and potential as assessed through the scheme.
These fellowship opportunities are being offered across our four faculties: Science & Engineering, Arts & Humanities, Business & Law and Health & Education. We will be making up to 15 appointments onto the cohort, based on application and assessment performance, and best fit to our preferred areas of research, across our four faculties.
Further details about the fellowship and research areas can be found here
You can explore our Fellowship Opportunity in Neurodegeneration with focus on risk factors and diagnostic/ progression biomarkers below.
Neurodegenerative diseases, affecting central or peripheral nervous systems, are a significant burden on our ageing society due to their negative impacts on quality of life. Biomarkers that sensitively track disease progression will enable faster and cheaper clinical trials that will mean treatments can be found sooner. Significant advances in understanding pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases are supporting identification of therapeutic targets that are attracting major interest from industry. The ability to support translation of these interventions to successful clinical application will be enhanced by concomitant advance in understanding risk and biomarker development. Such work requires collaborative efforts between scientists, clinicians and people living with neurodegenerative conditions.
The Neurodegeneration Theme at Manchester Metropolitan is well placed to support delivery of these ambitions. We have a growing record of research studying both peripheral and central neurodegeneration, in the context of both ageing and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, MND and Parkinson's Disease. We also have extensive research facilities spanning electrophysiology, biomedical imaging in the form of 3-T MRI and extensive microscopy suites, coupled with stemcell and tissue culture suites and a range of facilities for genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics and proteomics, all of which are supported by specialist technical teams.
About the role:
About the candidate:
You will be an ambitious and emerging researcher, able to demonstrate the potential to launch an independent programme of high impact in neurodegeneration, with a focus on risk factors and diagnostic/progression biomarkers. You will also collaborate with clinical partners as well as cross-disciplinary collaborations with colleagues across Life Science and Sports & Exercise departments.
Requirements:
Please refer to the Job Description & Person Specification for a full list of essential & desirable criteria.
