Postdoctoral Research Scientist (Signalling) Join to apply for the Postdoctoral Research Scientist (Signalling) role at The Babraham Institute Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Pay Range This range is provided by The Babraham Institute. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more. Applicants for this position will be appointed at a starting salary of £34,500 per annum if not yet awarded a PhD. Job Overview We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the David group at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge. Our overarching goal is to discover mechanisms that promote healthy ageing and alleviate age‑related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Our group has uncovered mechanisms that prevent age‑related protein aggregation, a major contributor to functional decline. Notably, we discovered a proteostasis network that safeguards proteins from aggregation in the extracellular space in C. elegans (PMID: 32641833). Our group is embedded within the Signalling Programme, which offers a vibrant, collaborative environment and access to world‑class facilities. In this role, you will develop an independent research project investigating mechanisms of protein quality control in the extracellular space. Your work will combine in vitro assays to characterize protein aggregation and in vivo studies in C. elegans using imaging, proteomics, and functional assays to explore how extracellular proteostasis influences organismal health. This position is ideal for a curiosity‑driven scientist who thrives on tackling challenging questions and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Applicants should hold a PhD in biochemistry, cellular or molecular biology, or a related discipline, and demonstrate a strong track record in academic research. Prior experience in molecular cloning and biochemical techniques, including protein purification and western blotting, is essential. Additional expertise in microscopy, cell culture and proteomics is highly desirable, and familiarity with C. elegans research would be advantageous, although not required. The Babraham Institute is a charity, world renowned for its research in life sciences to enhance lives and improve wellbeing. Postdocs have access to excellent career development courses in the Postdoc Academy (University of Cambridge) and high‑quality scientific training is offered by the different core facilities at the Babraham Institute. Funding for this position is initially available for three years. A full job specification and role requirements can be found attached to this vacancy on our website. Closing Date The closing date is Monday, 5th January 2026. Additional Information Applicants must hold a PhD or have their thesis submitted when commencing the post. No agencies please.
