Open Research Outreach and Training Intern 04 Mar, 2026 University of Edinburgh Join the Open Research Team, a dedicated unit within the library tasked with advancing the University’s Open Research ambitions and monitoring the uptake of Open Research (OR) practices. This post will focus on the development of Open Research awareness raising, outreach, and training materials which can be rolled out across the university. PhD: Development of a neurodevelopmental appropriate emotion regulation intervention 06 Mar, 2026 University of Edinburgh The PhD student will work with children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders and their teachers, facilitated by the external partner organisation that provides services to these children, their parents and teachers. Involving children in the research, particularly in the development of an intervention, will ensure that practices are acceptable, feasible, motivating, and appropriate for those with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Research Fellow in Biochemistry/Cell Biology 08 Mar, 2026 This 6-year Wellcome Discovery award will involve three post-doctoral fellows and two PhD students, who will form an integrated team combining biochemical, biophysical, cell biological and structural methods (cryoEM and cryoET) with the goal of transforming our understanding of amyloid polymorphism in vitro, in cells, and in mouse models and human tissue. The project will focus on IAPP involved in type-2 diabetes and a-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease. Research Fellow in Structural Biology 08 Mar, 2026 University of Leeds This project will focus on IAPP involved in type-2 diabetes and -synuclein in Parkinson’s disease. You will use cryoEM/ET to explore how changing the assembly conditions alters the structures of amyloid fibrils, and how fibril structure and polymorphism change with time in vitro, in cells and in tissues. You will also determine the structures of fibrils extracted from murine and patient samples and determine the role of different fibril types in causing cellular dysfunction and disease. PhD: Engineering Artificial Synaptic Cells for Next-Generation Brain-Computer Interfaces 09 Mar, 2026 King's College London Fully funded PhD within the EB4BM Centre for Doctoral Training, this projects sits at the intersection of neuroscience, synthetic biology, and bioengineering. Think programmable synapses, biohybrid neural systems, and entirely new ways to understand (and interface with) the brain. Funded PhD Studentships; Scottish Graduate School of Social Science 24 Mar, 2026 University of Edinburgh New ESRC-funded supervisor-led studentships in social science. Highlights: 'How should we communicate with people living with chest, heart and stroke conditions to promote physical activity and improve health and wellbeing?'; and, 'Neurodivergent students’ access to education: the role of social inequalities, child and family factors.'
