Key information about the roleJob descriptionJob summaryApplications are invited for two Research Associates in Single Cell Analysis and Mitochondrial Ageing to work in the group of Professor Nick Jones. Funding is available for each 36-month post to be extended by a further 24 months and this extension is anticipated. The appointees will work on a Wellcome funded project, alongside two experimental post-docs (also over 5 years), in the labs of Professors Patrick Chinnery and Maria Spillantini in the Cambridge Mitochondrial Biology Unit and Cambridge Clinical Neuroscience. The project will investigate, through single cell multiomics, the interplay of mitochondrial content and gene-expression with both ageing and Parkinson’s disease in the brain in both mouse models and human. You will work directly with Nick Jones: experience in Bayesian inference is required; familiarity with single cell analysis is highly desirable; familiarity with topics in statistical genetics, variant calling and sequencing is desirable. The Imperial team will be linked to both the Centre for the Mathematics of Precision Healthcare and Imperial’s Machine Learning initiative I-X (which Professor Jones co-directs). We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and value a supportive environment prioritizing purposeful happiness.

The College is a proud signatory to the San-Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which means that in hiring and promotion decisions, we evaluate applicants on the quality of their work, not the journal impact factor where it is published. For more information, see https://www.imperial.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/about-imperial-research/research-evaluation/ The College believes that the use of animals in research is vital to improve human and animal health and welfare. Animals may only be used in research programmes which are ultimately aimed towards finding new treatments and making scientific and medical advances, and where there are no satisfactory or reasonably practical alternatives to their use. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and that all staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level.
