About us

There is a vacancy for a graduate Research Assistant to join a research group headed by Professor Alison Hardcastle. The Hardcastle lab fosters a collegiate and inclusive environment that works closely in a shared lab with several other PIs to form a large team (>30) at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.


About the role

We are looking for a research assistant to differentiate retinal organoids which are used to explore the molecular mechanisms of retinal degeneration and test potential therapeutic approaches. The successful candidate will be motivated to contribute to high-quality research, with an ability to think and work independently and work effectively as part of team, with excellent organizational skills.


About you

The post would suit an ambitious researcher with a strong interest in the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, retinal molecular and cellular biology, and/or therapeutic development. The successful candidate will preferably have experience of stem cell culture and differentiation. They will also have experience of immunohistochemistry, transcriptomics and biochemical analyses. They will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, and with established collaborators, to investigate the molecular mechanism of inherited retinal degeneration using iPSC derived retinal organoids and animal models to explore potential therapies.

Applicants close to submission of their PhD will also be considered. Appointment as a Research Fellow at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD. If this is not the case, an initial appointment will be made as a Research Assistant at Grade 6b (£39,807 -£41,833) with payment at Grade 7 backdated upon award of a PhD to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis (with corrections)
