Where passion meets purpose. Be part of something bigger.

We’re looking for a curious, motivated, and hands-on Research Assistant to join our Translational Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) Research Group. If you’re excited by brain research, enjoy working in a collaborative lab environment, and want to contribute to research that really matters, this could be a great fit.

As a Research Assistant in our team, you’ll play a key role in helping us understand how CAA affects brain health. You’ll work closely with postdocs, PhD students, and other lab members, supporting a wide range of experiments and day-to-day research activity. Your work will directly contribute to ongoing projects in vascular dementia research. You’ll enjoy working as part of a team but are also happy managing your own workload and daily organisation.

You’re practical, detail-oriented, and keen to learn, with a genuine interest in brain health and translational research.

People have always been at the heart of our work. As part of the University, you are a part of our community. We are looking for people with drive, determination, and a passion for what they do. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you.

A career with us has a range of other benefits that can be tailored to your lifestyle:

• Professional development and subject matter expertise
• Working within one of the world’s leading universities
• Interesting work
• Excellent benefits and support

If you’re passionate about research and want to contribute to work that advances our understanding of vascular dementia, we’d love to hear from you.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week) and based in a lab setting.
