Research Assistant In Extracellular Vesicle Biomarkers

Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, OX3 9DU

We are seeking an ambitious and highly motivated Research Assistant to work in a programme of research that aims to investigate extracellular vesicle biogenesis and biomarkers in Parkinson's disease. The study will involve the use of iPSC-based models to elucidate molecular mechanisms and biosamples from patient cohorts to validate biomarkers. As such, the post will offer an excellent opportunity for mechanistic and translational research using state-of-the-art models and facilities available at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery and Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford. The position is ideal for a research assistant that wishes to pursue a DPhil. The post-holder will also benefit from and be exposed to interactions with Industry and work alongside a multidisciplinary team in the Molecular Neurodegeneration Research Group.

This post is full time and fixed term for 2 years in the first instance.

Only applications received before midday 12:00 on Friday 11th April 2025 will be considered.

Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
