Midlothian, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

The Opportunity:

A research position is available at the University of Edinburgh to investigate the role of autophagy and lysosomal degradation in aging and aging-related diseases.

The research laboratory of Noor Gammoh is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to contribute to our understanding of key events during autophagy initiation, progression, and lysosomal degradation. The ideal candidate will have a PhD degree and experience in basic molecular techniques. A current project focuses on uncovering molecular events underlying lysosomal degradation of autophagic cargo using a combination of cell biology and biochemical techniques.

The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to design, execute, and interpret experiments, as well as creative thinking, good presentation skills, problem-solving, self-motivation, and critical analyses. The laboratory is part of the Cancer Research UK Scotland Centre, offering a collaborative research environment, access to state-of-the-art technologies, and support for the next generation of scientific leaders.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position, funded for 3 years pending review after 6 months.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, execute, and interpret experiments related to autophagy and lysosomal degradation.

• Contribute to the development of research projects and publications.

• Collaborate with the research team to achieve common goals.

Requirements:

• PhD degree in a relevant field.

• Experience in basic molecular techniques.

• Strong technical skills and ability to troubleshoot experiments.
