Research Assistant in Motor Neuron Disease
Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DU The Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences seeks an enthusiastic Research Assistant for the opportunity to develop their expertise in Motor Neurone Disease (MND, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS, and the related disorder frontotemporal dementia, FTD) through their engagement with an established internationally-leading programme of neuroscience research led by Dr Alexander Thompson, Professor Martin Turner and Professor Kevin Talbot. You will be responsible for the provision of research support for the Motor Neuron Disease research group, contributing primarily to cohort studies involving remote data collection (using wrist-worn accelerometery and remote iPad-based cognitive testing) and biomarker analysis. The post offers the opportunity to become proficient in biofluid sample processing, analytical techniques such as ELISA and to gain experience in neurodegeneration research as it relates to motor neuron disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and frontotemporal dementia. As such the post would be very suitable for a bioscience graduate who is considering going on to study for a doctorate in neuroscience. The post requires excellent organisational skills and attention to detail. This post is full time and fixed term until 31st October 2026
