London, Greater London, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant or Associate to join our team at Imperial College London. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading one or more projects characterizing the relationship between brain and blood cell types to interpret Parkinson's disease susceptibility and its various clinical presentations.

The ideal candidate should hold a relevant MSc in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Mathematics, or a closely related discipline, or possess equivalent research, industrial, or commercial experience. Knowledge of immunology is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will work closely with Dr. Cynthia Sandor's research group and collaborate with various research groups within the Dementia Research Institute and Imperial's Department of Brain Sciences.

The role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in neurodegenerative disorders and to develop skills in emerging computational approaches.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading one or more projects characterizing the relationship between brain and blood cell types to interpret Parkinson's disease susceptibility and its various clinical presentations.
  • Collaborating with Dr. Nathan Skene's group to identify the cell types and intracellular processes affected by the genetic loci underlying neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Working with next-generation sequencing data from patient-derived brain tissue and blood to identify cells and signalling pathways dysregulated in Parkinson's disease.

The successful candidate will be supported to develop skills in emerging computational approaches and will have access to both published and unpublished human/mouse single-cell and multi-disease datasets.

The role offers a competitive salary and remuneration package, including 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes.

Imperial College London is a world-leading institution and a great place to develop your career as a researcher.
