The Neurodegenerative Disease group research portfolio includes genetic, cellular, molecular and clinical research into common disorders including motor neurone diseases, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and the ageing brain and dementia. The research focus is strongly translational and is primarily located in a 2,800m2 research facility, the Sheffield Institute of Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) which was officially opened by Her Majesty the Queen, in November 2010.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
