The Project:

You will join a Diabetes UK–funded research project led by Dr Gemma Brierley, whose group investigates the molecular underpinnings of insulin resistance.

Insulin receptoropathy is a rare form of diabetes, for which there is no effective treatment. 

Your mission:

• Optimise next‑generation antibodies to overcome antibody‑induced receptor degradation
• Advance our understanding of insulin and IGF receptor biology
• Drive ongoing studies to publication and help shape the next phase of this research

If you thrive in a collaborative, supportive environment and enjoy taking ownership of your research, you will fit right in. You will bring:

• A PhD in a relevant field (biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, or related discipline)
• Strong practical experience in:
  •     Eukaryotic cell culture
  •     Molecular biology
  •     Protein biochemistry
• Excellent organisational skills, scientific curiosity, and the drive to see projects through to publication

The Post:

Duration: 1-year initially, with the possibility of extension for an exceptional candidate (subject to funding)

Environment: You will be a core member of the Brierley Research Group - we are committed to mentoring, scientific growth, and helping researchers achieve their career ambitions.

Impact: Your work will directly contribute to developing therapeutic strategies for rare insulin receptor disorders, and deepen our understanding of metabolic and mitogenic signalling arising from the insulin receptor. 

We offer a generous reward package and benefits including:

• Competitive and attractive pension package
• Generous 30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays and concessionary days)
• On site café and restaurant
• Free membership to the Fitness and Wellbeing Centre located on site 
• Cycle to work scheme
• A range of family friendly policies, including adoption, maternity and paternity pay and leave
