Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in cell biology, structural biology or molecular immunology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

We are seeking a motivated and adaptable Research Assistant to join a recently established research group led by Dr. Helen Foster and supported by an Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard Award. Our group is focused on understanding how cytoskeletal networks within immune cells are regulated, how this is modified during immune stimulation and how this is perturbed in disease. To tackle these questions, we use an exciting combination of approaches spanning structural and cell biology, including live cell imaging, super-resolution light microscopy, in situ structural biology, and mass spectrometry.

In this role, you will support ongoing research projects and optimise methods for super resolution imaging of immune cell contacts. You should have prior experience of laboratory work and an enthusiasm for building new skills in a collaborative and dynamic environment. Full hands-on training will be provided, and there will be opportunities to explore techniques and research directions that match your own interests and strengths, making this an excellent opportunity to develop your research career.

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in Neuroscience? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities?

Learning does not just shape what we remember, it reshapes how we perceive, altering the earliest stages of sensory processing. We are recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a BBSRC-funded project investigating how the olfactory bulb, the first processing stage of the olfactory system, adjusts how it encodes odours in response to behavioural context. You will use in vivo two-photon calcium imaging in mice, alongside behavioural assays and computational modelling, to track how learning-driven changes emerge in these early circuits and how this shapes perception.

You will join a collaborative lab within a thriving neuroscience community at Leeds, home to over 44 research labs across multiple faculties, with access to cutting-edge imaging facilities.

The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was awarded a Silver award in 2020.  We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees.

Overview of the Role

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in molecular biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Survival rates have improved dramatically in recent years due to improved patient stratification but for patients who relapse, the mortality rate remains high. We have discovered a novel set of biomarkers that are present at high levels at diagnosis in patients who subsequently relapse (Gao et al., Nature 2025). This project will develop and validate an assay to detect these novel biomarkers so the assay is suitable for use in diagnostics labs. It will furthermore involve work with clinical geneticists and clinicians to integrate this assay with current genetic markers and clinical practices. A strong command of statistics and multi-centre collaborations is therefore required. Successful development of these novel biomarkers will enable patients at risk of relapse to be identified sooner and offered targeted treatments, which may ultimately lead to improved clinical outcomes for both paediatric and adult ALL patients.

What we offer in return 

• 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!

Salary: £41,064 to £48,822 per annum

This is an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to research at the leading edge of advanced ceramic capacitor discovery, joining an EPSRC-funded project within Dr. Lu's Group. This experimentally based project seeks to develop high entropy BiFeO3-based dielectric ceramics for next-generation multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with significantly enhanced energy storage performance and extended operational temperature ranges. Current MLCCs are limited to operating temperatures of 150°C and insufficient energy storage density, creating critical bottlenecks for integration with wide bandgap semiconductors in power electronics. By applying a high entropy strategy, this project aims to achieve unprecedented simultaneous enhancement of energy recoverable density, efficiency, breakdown strength, and operating temperature range from -55 to 250°C. The programme will employ advanced structural characterisation tools and comprehensive functional property measurements to systematically investigate the relationship between composition, entropy level, crystal structure, and energy storage performance.

Holding a PhD (or close to completion) in Materials Science, Physics, or a closely allied discipline, you will have a strong background in dielectrics, ferroelectrics, or functional oxide materials. You will also have experience of ceramic/complex oxide fabrication, processing, and characterisation, with a strong emphasis on electrical property measurement techniques and advanced structure determination methods, including X-ray/neutron scattering and/or electron microscopy, as well as experience in the interpretation of experimental data for advanced crystal structure determination, such as Rietveld refinement or pair distribution function analysis.
