£37,364 to £44,614 per annum (depending on post-PhD experience) The Babraham Institute is a charity which is world renowned for its research in life sciences to enhance lives and improve wellbeing. 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: ). 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 have the opportunity to 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 ..... full job details .....
