Structural biologist and Cell biologist
Deadline for applications: 8th March
Locations: Radford and Ranson laboratories / Astbury Centre at the University of Leeds, UK
We are looking for two outstanding research fellows to join our interdisciplinary team investigating how proteins aggregate into amyloid fibrils, and how fibrils with different structures perturb cellular function. This 6-year Wellcome Discovery award will involve three post-doctoral fellows and two PhD students, who will form an integrated team combining biochemical, biophysical, cell biological and structural methods (cryoEM and cryoET) with the goal of transforming our understanding of amyloid polymorphism in vitro and its consequences in cells, in mouse models and in human tissue. The project will focus on IAPP involved in type-2 diabetes and a-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease. You will work closely with other members of our amyloid team.
You will be based in the laboratories of Professors Sheena Radford and Neil Ranson, and work closely with other members of our amyloid team. For one of these positions, you should have (or be close to completing) a PhD in either Structural biology (cryoEM/ET) to elucidate protein assembly mechanisms or a PhD (or be close to completing) in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cell Biology or a related discipline and extensive experience of using biochemical, biophysical and cell biological methods to elucidate biological mechanisms involving protein assembly.

Deadline for applications: 31st March 2026
Location: CRBM, France
Candidates are expected to develop a competitive research program exploring how internal cellular processes and external environmental cues shape cell behavior and function. Potential areas include stem cell maintenance and differentiation, tissue regeneration, metabolism, genotype-phenotype relationships, evolutionary cell biology, ecology, and organelle interactions. We are also looking for interdisciplinary approaches to understand cellular mechanisms via biophysics, mathematical modelling, and cutting-edge instrument development in imaging. Innovative proposals beyond these themes synergizing with the CRBM are also welcome.
