Research Assistant: Transgenic Models of Parkinson’s Disease

2 months ago


Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

Full-time, Fixed-term until 30th April 2027

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant to work on a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary project to develop transgenic rodent models of Parkinson’s disease. The work will support projects seeking to use rodent models of disease to understand the earliest stage of neurodegeneration at a point in which neuronal dysfunction precedes neuronal loss, offering an early therapeutic window for therapy. The post will be based in the Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, and is supported by the Wellcome Trust and an international consortium funded by an Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) grant.

Duties include colony management, breeding and maintenance of lines of transgenic rodents; collection of brain tissue for gene expression analysis; general laboratory management, preparation of data for publication; contributions to wider project planning and determine the most appropriate methodologies to test hypotheses. You will have a good working knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, excellent practical experience of working with animal models and an interest in pre-clinical in vivo models of neurological disease. Previous experience of the management and maintenance of transgenic rodent lines would be an advantage. The ability to innovate, trouble-shoot technical problems, be meticulous in practical work and in record keeping is also essential.

Applicants must hold a BSc/MSc in a relevant area of research and will have excellent practical experience of working with animal models.

The fixed-term post is available immediately and until 30th April 2027. The post will be based in the Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration, Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, New Biochemistry, Phase 2, Parks Road, Oxford. Informal enquiries may be directed to Professor Richard Wade-Martins (richard.wade-martins@dpag.ox.ac.uk). Closing date for applications is midday on Wednesday 31st July 2024. Interviews are likely to be held in the week commencing 12th July 2024
