Overview

The University of Cambridge seeks a Research Associate on a fixed-term basis in Cambridge, UK, with applications closing on 18 November 2026. This role is part of the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, focusing on stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The successful candidate will work in the laboratory of Prof. Thóra Káradóttir, investigating myelin and its impact on neuronal function.

About this role

The Research Associate will explore the role of NMDA receptor subunits in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and their function throughout the lifespan. This position involves using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology and Patch-seq to study age-dependent changes in NMDA receptor signaling and its effects on OPC activity.

Candidates will engage in a multidisciplinary approach, combining in vivo and in vitro methods, electrophysiology, and advanced imaging techniques. The research aims to deepen understanding of neuron-OPC communication and its implications for neurodegenerative diseases.
