About us

The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative supporting research to fill the major knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause dementia.

Research from UK DRI at UCL covers the journey from the patient to the laboratory and back to the patient with improved diagnosis, biomarkers and candidate therapies put to the test.

The Hong Laboratory, based in the UK DRI at UCL, aims to understand whether neuro-glia-immune interactions in brain and gut and how they contribute to region-specific vulnerability in neurologic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Specifically, the lab is interested in understanding the neuroimmune microenvironments at the synapse in aging and neurodegeneration.

About the role

We offer an exciting opportunity to support a cutting-edge research laboratory at the UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is passionate about neuroimmunology and neuroscience, and who also understands the essential groundwork involved in managing the day-to-day operations and maintenance of a fast-paced, collaborative lab environment.

You will oversee all aspects of laboratory operations in close collaboration with the PI and other lab members. This position combines research, laboratory management, and administrative responsibilities. There will also be opportunities to design, execute, and lead independent research projects, as well as to contribute to grant writing and the preparation of funding reports.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a vibrant research environment at the forefront of disease-related neuroimmunology and neuroscience—within the lab, across the UK DRI, and through collaborations with external academic and industry partners.

The post is available from 01 July 2025 and funded by the UK DRI until 31 May 2027 in the first instance.
