Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the major global health care challenges of the 21st century. Two of the major changes to accompany obesity are increased concentrations of lipids in the blood (dyslipidaemia) and the inappropriate storage of lipids in tissues outside adipose tissue - referred to as ectopic fat deposition. Professor Jules Griffin is the Director of the Rowett Institute, and work in his group focusses on the study of how lipids contribute to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, as well as other aspects of the metabolic syndrome such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. This part-time position will support researchers within the Rowett Institute and the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition investigating the role lipids play in the development of type 2 diabetes as part of a process referred to as lipotoxicity.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6, £35,333 - £42,155 per annum, pro rata and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience.
