Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two highly motivated clinical trainees interested in Neurology research to join our Motor Neurone Disease/Neurodegeneration clinical research programme. These posts will be predominantly patient focused, playing a key role in helping to deliver cutting edge gene therapy and experimental medicine trials. The ability to implement good clinical practice is therefore essential.

You will have the opportunity to develop your own research project aligned to the interests of the MND group.

This post will be based at the state of the art Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN), in the Division of Neuroscience at the University of Sheffield School of Medicine, Dentistry and Health. SITraN was awarded the Queen’s anniversary prize for contribution to translational research in neurodegenerative diseases. SITraN is a purpose built research institute and houses computational, clinical and basic scientists with a focus on neurodegenerative disorders such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
