Application deadline: 24 Jul 2026
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the newly established Oxford-GSK Institute of Molecular and Computational Medicine (IMCM), a pioneering partnership between the University of Oxford and GSK. Based within the Fowler Group at the Centre for Human Genetics, this role offers the opportunity to contribute to innovative research investigating the mechanisms of protein aggregation and spread in neurodegenerative diseases. Working across the University of Oxford and the Rosalind Franklin Institute, you will help advance our understanding of human disease while supporting the development of future therapeutics.
You will investigate the subcellular localisation, structural diversity and molecular composition of pathological protein assemblies using cutting-edge structural biology and imaging techniques, including cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). The role includes maintaining advanced neuronal and glial cell culture models, generating and analysing high-quality experimental data, collaborating with multidisciplinary academic and industry partners, presenting research findings, contributing to publications and grant development, and supporting the ongoing advancement of translational neuroscience research.
