Working within a team of research impact and engagement professionals, you will be associated with specific disciplinary areas within the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. You will work with professional services colleagues to evidence impact from research, supporting the development of compelling narratives for the Research Excellence Framework (REF). Funded PhD: Alpha-Synuclein Condensates and Synaptic Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease 10 Jul, 2026 This project integrates advanced human neuronal models, genome engineering, and cutting edge imaging to interrogate α-syn biology at unprecedented resolution. It combines human iPSC models, CRISPR genome engineering, and advanced imaging in a highly collaborative neuroscience environment. Start date is October 2026 or February 2027. 2 x Lecturer/Assoc. Profs in NeuroAI and Computational Neuroscience 10 Jul, 2026 UCL's dearptments of Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology and Cell and Developmental Biology are expanding their research programmes at the interface of neuroscience, AI, and computational biology through a coordinated initiative formalised within the Biosciences NeuroAI centre. These appointments are also part of a Faculty-wide computational biology initiative and the successful applicants will join a growing community of researchers working at the forefront of computational neuroscience and data-driven biological discovery. Funded PhD: MRC-ITND PhD fellowship in Neurodevelopmental Disorders 15 Jul, 2026 4 years: fees, stipend and bench fees MRC The Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders Open to clinicians Home (UK) students only 4 x Teaching Associates in Psychology 19 Jul, 2026 Permanent posts in Clinical Health Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Psychology of Languages and Social Psychology Research Assistant 19 Jul, 2026 University of Cambridge The major purpose of this postdoctoral position is to develop, apply and integrate computational approaches for long-read DNA and RNA sequencing, with a focus on transcript isoform discovery, alternative splicing, genetic variation and multi-omics integration in neurodegenerative disease. You will join the Gustavsson Group at the UK Dementia Research Institute. Funded PhD: Causal AI and EEG Analysis to Characterise Sleep in Children with Neurodevelopmental Conditions 31 Jul, 2026 Required: an ambitious and proactive PhD student to characterise sleep in young children with neurodevelopmental conditions by analysing electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings as part of our interdisciplinary research team. PhD: RNA-biology and Neurodegeneration 31 Jul, 2026 The project, focused on RNA-biology and Neurodegeneration, involves molecular and cell biology techniques, spatial transcriptomics and RNA-targeting therapies in Frontotemporal Dementia. Postdoc needed: electrophysiologist with patch clamp experience in brain slices 31 Aug, 2026 The project, funded by the French agency ANR, aims at characterising a mouse model of the Williams-Beuren syndrome and to investigate the therapeutic effect of chlorzoxazone as enhancer of the Ca2+-activated K+ channel BK. We use ultra fast imaging techniques developed in our laboratories to explore action potential generation and propagation in neocortical layer-5 pyramidal neurons (Filipis et al.,2023; Blömer et al., 2024). The contract is extendable and our team is engaged in a parallel activity of technology transfer that may give interesting long-term career opportunities for the future.
