We seek a skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in biological NMR spectroscopy, SAXS, recombinant protein production, and cell biology.
The post holder will work on an MND Association-funded project to map the interaction network of Annexin A11 and elucidate its role in neurodegeneration. The research aims to uncover how protein–RNA and protein–protein interactions are controlled at the molecular level, and how disease-associated mutations disrupt these interactions and promote the protein aggregation implicated in ALS.
The post holder will lead the protein NMR and SAXS characterisation, as well as the associated cell biology studies, providing complementary structural and cellular perspectives on the molecular mechanisms underlying disease. Training in the cell-based methodologies will be provided. The post holder will work in close collaboration with the Mizielinska lab at the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) at King’s College London and the Adinolfi lab at the University of Turin (Italy).
We seek a candidate passionate about molecular mechanisms of disease who wants to contribute to cutting-edge research.
This is a full-time onsite post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract of 36 months. Position to start no sooner than 1 November 2026.
