The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative supporting research to fill the major knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause dementia.
Research from UK DRI at UCL covers the journey from the patient to the laboratory and back to the patient with improved diagnosis, biomarkers, and candidate therapies.
Based within the UK DRI at UCL, the De Strooper/Arancibia group focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on the cellular phase of Alzheimer’s disease, the neuro-immune axis, and single-cell genomics.
About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Research Technician to join our laboratory as part of an ongoing research initiative focused on understanding the interactions between neurons and glia in Alzheimer’s disease.
You will be part of a team whose primary research goal is to elucidate the cellular responses that contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. As the main point of contact between the Crick’s Biological Research Facility and the lab’s research staff, you will coordinate closely with team members to establish and manage study plans involving animal models.
This role offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, international research environment, contributing to world-class science under the leadership of a renowned expert in Alzheimer’s biology.
About You
You’ll have a Personal Licence, with experience in maintaining transgenic mouse lines and using animal-based project tracking software (e.g., MCMS, PyRAT, or equivalent), as well as experience with basic rodent handling and administration.
Experience of working in a research laboratory environment and a proven ability to communicate and collaborate professionally and effectively with a wide range of individuals is also essential for this role.
This role meets the eligibility requirements for a skilled worker certificate of sponsorship or a global talent visa under UK Visas and Immigration legislation. Therefore, UCL welcomes applications from international applicants who require a visa.
