Neuroscience Research Associate: MND/ALS Project
2 months ago
This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a research project focused on identifying novel disease-modifying therapies for MND/ALS. The successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Conducting day-to-day research activities, including animal care and training, molecular assays, histology, and data analysis.
- Collaborating with the research team to achieve project objectives and contribute to the planning of research projects.
- Presenting research progress and outcomes to the research team and principal investigators.
- Writing up research results and contributing to the dissemination of research findings.
The project aims to test compounds that have been shown to block the downstream toxic effects of abnormal protein or the abnormal protein-protein interactions mediating disease spread in a macaque model of MND. The primary outcome measure will be the post-mortem findings in animals that have received test compounds versus placebo.
Key DeliverablesThe successful candidate will be expected to deliver:
- Data that will inform the design of trials in MND patients.
- Further validation of the macaque model for pre-clinical testing and screening of potential disease-modifying therapies for patients with MND.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Research Assistant to join our team. The ideal candidate will have:
- Some subject knowledge relevant to neurodegenerative diseases, particularly ALS/MND.
- Good analytical skills, particularly data analysis, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly.
- The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues as part of a team and to encourage the commitment of others.
- Experience of research with clear transferable skills and some experience or awareness of the research environment.
We are looking for a candidate who is:
- Self-motivated and able to work independently.
- Good at organisational and communication skills.
The successful candidate will have:
- A good honours degree (2.1 or above) in neuroscience, biomedical sciences, natural sciences, or equivalent, with some subject knowledge in neuroscience.
