Babraham Institute

Location: Cambridge

Salary: £37,364 to £44,614 (Starting salary) per annum

Hours: Full Time

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 to recruit a highly enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Scientist to study the role of extracellular proteostasis in healthy ageing and host defence against pathogens. The successful candidate will join the David group at the Babraham Institute. Our overarching goal is to discover mechanisms that will promote healthy ageing and alleviate age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. We have contributed to recent advances in understanding the mechanisms that prevent protein aggregation, a driver of age-related functional decline. This includes the discovery of the proteostasis network protecting proteins against aggregation outside cells in C. elegans (PMID: 32641833). Our group is embedded within the Signalling Programme which provides a strong collaborative and thriving research environment.

We are looking for a curiosity-driven and highly motivated candidate willing to solve challenging questions and develop their own research project. The post-holder will use reverse genetics, proteomics and functional assays in C. elegans to dissect the impact of extracellular proteostasis on health, both at the tissue level and whole organism level. Applicants should have completed a PhD in cell or molecular biology, genetics or related field, with a demonstrable track-record in academic research. They must have prior research experience with C. elegans. Previous working experience in microscopy, molecular cloning, proteomics and generating transgenic C. elegans is also desirable.

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.
