We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Laboratory for Neuroimmunology and Immunopsychiatry, at the Centre for Human Genetics. You will play a central role in an interdisciplinary research programme investigating how immune mechanisms contribute to psychiatric and neurological disorders. You will lead experimental design, data generation, and integration across molecular and functional readouts, working closely with clinical teams. Prior experience with MEA methodology and iPSC‑based neuronal and glial differentiation is essential, while experience with multi‑omic approaches would be an advantage. You will receive mentorship and opportunities for professional development, including training in new experimental and analytical skills, supervising students, and contributing to grant applications.

This position will help to translate fundamental discoveries into therapeutic approaches, within a world‑leading research environment at the University of Oxford.
