Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Babraham Institute Full time
Postdoctoral Research Scientist Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join our team at the Babraham Institute. The successful candidate will be part of the David group, working on a project to study the role of extracellular proteostasis in healthy ageing and host defence against pathogens.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a curiosity-driven researcher to develop their own project and contribute to recent advances in understanding the mechanisms that prevent protein aggregation, a driver of age-related functional decline. The post-holder will use reverse genetics, proteomics, and functional assays in C. elegans to dissect the impact of extracellular proteostasis on health, both at the tissue level and whole organism level.

Requirements
  • PhD in cell or molecular biology, genetics, or a related field
  • Prior research experience with C. elegans
  • Desirable skills: microscopy, molecular cloning, proteomics, and generating transgenic C. elegans
