Job Description
We’re looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Sanders and Rinaldi Groups at the University of Oxford. This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to high-impact research exploring RNA binding proteins, gene regulation, and the mechanisms shaping neurodevelopment.
Location: Sanders Research Group, Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine (IDRM), Old Road Campus, Oxford
Salary: £39,424–£47,779 per annum
Contract type: Full-time, fixed-term for 3 years
About the Role
Join the University of Oxford as part of the influential Sanders and Rinaldi Groups—leaders in genomic research and therapeutic innovation. This role sits within the MRC Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) in Therapeutics Genomics, a flagship national programme accelerating the development of genome-targeted therapies.
As Postdoctoral Research Associate, you will investigate the function of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) in the developing human brain and their contribution to neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders. You will use a broad range of genomic techniques, including RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, CLIP-seq, and whole genome sequencing, to model RNA–protein interactions and uncover fundamental biological mechanisms with translational potential.
