We’d like to hear from you if you:
- Are interested in working within a collaborative team
- Learning state-of-the-art technologies and analysis
- Are enthused by the process of scientific discovery
The successful candidate will be part of a team analysing novel experiments to understand the role of microglia in the brain during Alzheimer’s Disease. We aim to understand how a patients genes contribute to the development of disease. The successful candidate need not have specialist knowledge in this area, but it will be advantageous to have technical ability in the processing of, staining of and analysis of tissue sections.
This post is based at the Hadyn Ellis Building, Cathays campus.
This role is eligible to be offered on a blended working basis, meaning that as well as spending time working on campus you can also choose to spend some time working from another location, e.g. your home. The University is committed to offering this flexibility, wherever the role and business need allows, supporting work-life balance.
Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave (incl bank holidays), local pension scheme, a cycle to work scheme and other travel initiatives, annual increments within the pay scale, and more. It is an exciting and vibrant place to work, with many different challenges and is a proud Living Wage supporter.
How we will support you in performing in this role –
There are some things that you must have before you can start this role (see ‘Essential Criteria’), but other things can be developed either through training, or just by general on-the-job experience. We want to support and develop you once you have started in the role using a combination of the following to get the best out of you:
1. Regular one-to-ones with your manager
2. An experienced and supportive team around you
3. Supporting you through job-relevant training and development that you may require
4. A mentoring scheme
Please contact Prof Julie Williams (williamsj@cardiff.ac.uk) for an informal, confidential discussion about the role.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week), available from 1 September 2026 and fixed term until 31 August 2027.
Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
Cardiff University is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which means that in hiring and promotion decisions we will evaluate applicants on the quality of their research, not publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which the research is published.

Ein nod yw deall sut mae genynnau cleifion yn cyfrannu at ddatblygiad clefyd. Nid oes angen i'r ymgeisydd llwyddiannus feddu ar wybodaeth arbenigol yn y maes hwn, ond bydd yn fanteisiol cael gallu technegol wrth brosesu, staenio a dadansoddi adrannau meinwe.
Swydd yn Adeilad Hadyn Ellis ar gampws Parc Cathays yw hon.
Mae’r swydd hon yn gymwys i’w chynnig ar sail gweithio cyfunol. Mae hynny’n golygu, yn ogystal â gweithio ar y campws, y cewch weithio o leoliad arall (e.e. eich cartref) rywfaint o’r amser. Mae’r Brifysgol wedi ymrwymo i gynnig yr hyblygrwydd hwn pan fo’r swydd ac anghenion y busnes yn caniatáu, a hynny er mwyn sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng y gwaith a’ch bywyd personol.

Dyma le cyffrous a bywiog i weithio, lle mae nifer o heriau gwahanol. Rydym hefyd yn falch o gefnogi’r Cyflog Byw.
Sut y byddwn yn eich helpu i gyflawni’r rôl hon –
Mae’n rhaid i chi fodloni rhai gofynion cyn gallu dechrau’r swydd hon (gweler ‘Meini Prawf Hanfodol’), ond bydd modd sicrhau’r elfennau eraill drwy gael hyfforddiant neu brofiad cyffredinol yn y swydd. Ar ôl i chi ddechrau yn y swydd, rydym ni am eich cefnogi chi a’ch datblygu gan ddefnyddio cyfuniad o’r canlynol i wireddu eich llawn botensial:
1. Cyfarfodydd un i un rheolaidd gyda'ch rheolwr
2. Tîm profiadol a chefnogol o'ch cwmpas
3. Eich cefnogi drwy estyn cyfleoedd ichi hyfforddi a datblygu yn ôl yr angen mewn ffyrdd sy’n berthnasol i’r swydd
4. Cynllun mentora
Am sgwrs anffurfiol am y rôl cysylltwch â’r Athro Julie Williams (WilliamsJ@caerdydd.ac.uk)
Swydd amser llawn (35 awr yr wythnos) am gyfnod penodol rhwng 1 Medi 2026 a 31 Awst 2027 yw hon.
Cyflog: £33,951 – £36.636 y flwyddyn (Gradd 5). Ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, bydd unigolion fel arfer yn dechrau ar waelod y raddfa gyflog, ac eithrio o dan amgylchiadau eithriadol.
Caniateir i geisiadau gael eu cyflwyno yn Gymraeg, ac ni fydd cais a gyflwynir yn y Gymraeg yn cael ei drin yn llai ffafriol na chais a gyflwynir yn Saesneg.
Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi llofnodi Datganiad ar Asesu Ymchwil (DORA) San Francisco, sy'n golygu y byddwn, wrth wneud penderfyniadau cyflogi a dyrchafu, yn gwerthuso ymgeiswyr ar sail safon eu hymchwil, nid ar sail metrigau cyhoeddi na'r cyfnodolyn y mae'r ymchwil wedi’i chyhoeddi ynddo.
