Applications are invited from scientifically qualified candidates for up to 3 non-clinical 5 year tenure-track Fellowships to be hosted by the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic and the UK Dementia Research Institute at The University of Edinburgh. These are new tenure-track positions that will focus on establishing an independent research programme and will be supported by a very competitive start up package with funds for capital equipment, consumables and laboratory personnel to drive forward the candidate’s research.
The successful candidates will be outstanding scientists with a proven record of research excellence to complement and enhance existing research programmes into MS, MND/ALS, Parkinson’s, dementias and other neurodegenerative disorders. Applications are particularly welcome from researchers with a track-record of human based experimental study eg. including (but not restricted to) stem cell systems, molecular pathology, medical imaging and experimental medicine.
This post represents an opportunity to establish an independent career in an outstanding translational neuroscience environment. Prospective candidates should contact Professor Siddharthan Chandran (siddharthan.chandran@ed.ac.uk) or Professor Giles Hardingham
(Giles.Hardingham@ed.ac.uk).
We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of gender or ethnic group. As women and members of ethnic minorities are currently under-represented in posts at this level we particularly encourage applications from members of these groups. These posts are for five years. Subject to a satisfactory formal review at the end of year four, the post-holder will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract at the end of year five. Appointments at Senior Lecturer level will be considered for suitably qualified candidates.
Interviews will take place on 28th February 2020.
