Research Associate (Fixed Term)

We seek a Post-doctoral Research Associate to work with Dr Annelies Quaegebeur, Dr Joanne Jones and Prof Roger Barker studying the molecular mechanisms of Parkinson's disease and "Parkinson-plus" disorders.

The successful candidate will investigate the molecular signatures of disease- associated glia in human brain tissue.

This research aims to identify new molecular targets for treatments and biomarkers for Parkinson's disease and "Parkinson-plus" disorders. This project draws on our ongoing work into the molecular substrates of neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease and "Parkinson-plus" disorders using state-of-the-art spatial omic technologies and is embedded within the international Aligning Science Across Parkinson's (ASAP) network.

The work will focus on characterising glial heterogeneity at the protein level through an integrated approach of cutting-edge spatial proteomic and histological technologies.

For questions relating to the post, please contact dr Annelies Quaegebeur at [email protected]
