Description

Are you looking to learn how next generation single-molecule techniques can be applied to answer fundamental questions in neurobiology? We are seeking a Research Associate for a Wellcome Trust funded position to study the molecular mechanisms of slow axonal transport.

This is a multidisciplinary project combining neuronal cell biology, advanced microscopy, biochemistry, and functional biophysical assays in vitro.

The project is ideally suited for scientists looking to expand their experience of multidisciplinary science.

While focused on live-cell single-molecule imaging, the project supports and encourages integration of multiple single-molecule assays both in vitro and in mammalian systems; a great opportunity to build expertise across fields.

We are looking for someone with a strong background and track record in molecular neurobiology, cell biology or related fields, as well as experience in microscopy.

A background in single molecule methods or experience with biochemical assays is desirable but not essential.

We strive to build a supportive environment for career development.

Opportunities include support to attend and present your data at national and international meetings and to participate in further training opportunities.

The role involves working closely with a number of collaborators, group members and students, and therefore requires dedication to upholding a supportive and inclusive work ethic and environment.

We're one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.

The University's Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.


We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect.

We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
