Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Didcot, UK
Postdoctoral Research Associate
The Rosalind Franklin Institute is a national research centre, funded by the UK government through UK Research and Innovation, dedicated to bringing about transformative changes in life science through interdisciplinary research and technology. In collaboration with the MSD London discovery centre, we are recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate within the Structural Biology theme. You will use an integrative structural cell biological approach to dissect the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), investigating how proteins involved in mitophagy lead to cellular dysregulation. Using this approach, you will determine structures of mitochondrial proteins directly involved in mitochondrial dysregulation pathways and study the effects of cellular stressors on structure.
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate you will develop methods for targeting specific neuronal features and characterise the structural...
