We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Research Assistant to join the laboratory of Professor Joanne Jones in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge.

A solid understanding of immunological techniques and molecular biology methods is also highly desirable. You should be well-organised, detail-oriented, and able to work both independently and as part of a team.

You will have the opportunity to actively participate in experimental design and troubleshooting, contribute intellectually to ongoing projects, and develop your own research questions and experiments. Training and professional development are strongly supported, and the position may offer a pathway to a PhD application for the right candidate
