The Cambridge Clinical Mitochondrial Research Group (MitoCAMB) is a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists spread across a number of different laboratories and institutes within the University of Cambridge Department of Clinical Neurosciences, based on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. We form local, national and international collaborations with leading researchers, with a focus on improving the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment for patients with mitochondrial disease and other inherited neurodegenerative diseases.
Current Vacancy – Research Assistant
The University of Cambridge wishes to appoint a motivated research assistant to join the research groups of Dr Jelle van den Ameele and Professor Patrick Chinnery at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit.
The postholder will assist with research projects that rely on animal models (mouse and Drosophila), by providing support and advice to staff and students. In addition, the postholder will be responsible for their own research project focused on developing novel mRNA-LNP-based gene therapies in mouse models of rare mitochondrial disorders, for which they will be directly supervised by the PIs and senior staff. The post-holder will have the opportunity to take on further post-graduate training opportunities, including as a PhD student.
