Research Technician
UK Dementia Research Institute at Cardiff University
School of Medicine
College of Biomedical and Life Sciences
Applications are invited for a Research Technician position in Neuroinflammation/ Complement Biology in the UK DRI at Cardiff University School of Medicine, based at the Heath Park campus.
This post will join a programme of research supported by the Moondance Foundation that explores the role of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The work focuses on the roles of the complement system, a known driver of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, and the development and testing of novel brain-penetrant complement-blocking drugs in vitro and in vivo for their ability to inhibit the complement system, their penetrance into the brain, and their impact on disease pathology and disease progression. The ultimate aim of the work is to develop brain-penetrant drugs to modulate complement dysregulation in AD that can be progressed to human trials.
Launched in 2017, the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) stands as a beacon of scientific innovation, representing an unprecedented £300 million investment in dementia research—the largest of its kind in UK history. The purpose of the UK DRI is through research, to transform the outlook for people living with or at risk of neurodegenerative conditions.
Candidates with experience in supporting similar laboratory research are encouraged to apply.
Informal inquiries should be made to Prof. B. Paul Morgan (morganbp@cardiff.ac.uk) or Dr. Wioleta Zelek (zelekw@cardiff.ac.uk).

The post is full time (35 hours per week), available immediately and fixed term for one year.
Salary: £33,951 - £36,636 per annum (Grade 5). Appointments to roles at Cardiff University are usually made at bottom of scale unless in exceptional circumstances.
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.
