Research Fellow in Chemical Neuroscience

We seek a dynamic and innovative Research Fellow to advance cutting-edge research in chemical neuroscience. You will focus on developing an advanced in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) model to explore new therapeutic strategies and investigate the causes of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. This work aims to revolutionize our understanding and treatment of these conditions.,

• Developing and Innovating: Establish and optimize an advanced in vitro BBB model, working collaboratively to evaluate therapeutic delivery methods and investigate potential causative agents like microbial components.
• Research and Analysis: Design and conduct experiments, analyse data, and generate original insights to further the understanding of neurodegeneration and its treatment.
• Collaboration: Work closely with project team members, sponsors, and academic partners to ensure project alignment and progress. Support team efforts in therapeutic vehicle development and related initiatives.
• Communication: Prepare reports, present findings to stakeholders, and contribute to publications and conferences.
• Teaching and Mentorship: Contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, supervising research projects, and guiding students in their academic and research pursuits.
• Professional Development: Stay at the forefront of the field through CPD and seek opportunities to develop external collaborations and consultancy ventures.
