Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in structural studies of amyloid aggregates and want to help to develop new routes to combat amyloid diseases? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?We are looking for an outstanding research fellow to join our interdisciplinary team that is investigating how proteins aggregate into amyloid fibrils, and how fibrils with different structure perturb cellular function. This Wellcome Trust-funded role is to use cryoEM, supported with other biochemical and biophysical analyses, to understand the structure of amyloid fibrils formed in vitro and purified from patient samples and to determine the activity of different fibril types in causing...

Research Fellow in Choice Modelling and Emerging TechnologiesSalary: Grade 7 (£39,105 – £46,485 p.a. depending on experience)This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.Travel behaviour models have traditionally relied on survey data. However, in recent years, advances in data science and ubiquitous computing have made it possible to use novel data sources for augmenting travel behaviour models. These include passively generated big data sources (e.g. mobile phone, GPS traces, public transport smart card records) as well as behavioural data collected using virtual reality (VR) experiments where it is possible to collect physiological sensor data like skin conductance, h...
