The Muqit Lab is exemplar in collaborative research to make robust discoveries and share data openly in the field to accelerate progress. Research Associate (Blouet and Karadotttir Labs) Monday, February 16, 2026 - 12:00 This post will be based across the laboratories of Professor Clemence Blouet (MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit, Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge) and Professor Ragnhildur Thora Karadottir (Wellcome MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, Director of the MS Society Cambridge Centre for Myelin Repair), on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Edinburgh Clinical Academic Track: Lectureships and PhD Fellowships Monday, February 23, 2026 - 12:00 University of Edinburgh MULTIPLE VACANCIES. Applications are welcomed for this prestigious programme Research Officer Friday, February 27, 2026 - 12:00 The Research Officer plays a central role in delivering Race Against Dementia’s research activity, helping to strengthen our research programmes and support the researchers we fund. The role combines strong organisational skills with clear science communication: coordinating processes, systems and partnerships to ensure smooth delivery, while translating research progress into accessible updates for internal and external audiences. PhD: The molecular basis of age-related changes to lumbosacral spinal autonomic and motoneurons Friday, February 27, 2026 - 12:00 One key focus of the work in this lab is exploring the effects of age on spinal neurons that govern bladder emptying, bowel movement and sphincter control. Whilst these cells are subject to ageing, including anatomic changes such as dendritic pruning (which may reflect changes in brain projections to these cells), the intracellular mechanisms that underpin these transformations are not clear.

Treasurer of the British Neuroscience Association Wednesday, March 4, 2026 - 12:00 British Neuroscience Association To be considered for this role, applicants are invited to submit a short Expression of Interest (up to 2 pages) outlining their motivation for the role, relevant experience, and what they would bring to the BNA as Treasurer. PhD: Development of a neurodevelopmental appropriate emotion regulation intervention Friday, March 6, 2026 - 12:00 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 Sunday, March 8, 2026 - 12:00 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 Sunday, March 8, 2026 - 12:00 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.
