Research Associate - Molecular Neurodegeneration

Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, New Biochemistry Building, Oxford, UK

We are seeking an ambitious and highly motivated researcher to contribute to a programme of research investigating molecular mechanisms that underpin the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. The study will involve the use of iPSC-based models as well as interrogation of pathways identified from previous studies in the lab. As such, the post will offer an excellent opportunity for mechanistic research using state-of-the-art models and facilities available at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery and Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford. The post-holder will work alongside a multidisciplinary team in the Molecular Neurodegeneration Research Group. For details check the lab website at: You will have an aptitude for mechanistic studies with a proven track record of research in cellular and molecular biology as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, and the ability to work collaboratively within a team. The post is suitable for a post-doctoral researcher with external funding. Please see the below 'Job Description' for further details on the role, responsibilities, and selection criteria, as well as further information about the university and how to apply. This post is full time, fixed term until 14 November 2028. Only applications received before midday 12:00 on Monday 19th October 2026 will be considered.
