We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to the project ‘Biological determinants of healthy longevity’ working with Dr Nathan Woodling. This project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, will investigate how cell signalling pathways linked to growth and earl-life development contribute to the ageing process through their continued activity in later life.
The Woodling lab uses fruit fly (Drosophila) model systems to understand how the action of specific cell signalling pathways within individual tissues leads to organismal ageing. Using techniques that encompass model organism genetics, transcriptomic/proteomic analysis, quantitative behavioural measures, and cutting-edge microscopy, the lab aims to discover genes and proteins that can be targeted to extend the time of life spent in disease-free good health.
More information can be found at Dr Woodling’s University of Glasgow profile and lab website:

The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.
For further information, please contact Dr Nathan Woodling Nathan.Woodling@glasgow.ac.uk
This post is full time, and funded for up to 4 years from start date
Relocation assistance will be provided where appropriate.
