We are seeking a motivated Research Associate to join the Plasticity Lab, led by Dr. Cassandra Sampaio-Baptista, to support a Wellcome Trust-funded project. The post holder will play a key role in supporting a research program investigating how ageing and brain activity influence oligodendrocyte dynamics and behaviour. This is a full-time, 2-year post offering excellent training opportunities, including a minimum of 10 CPD days annually. The plasticity lab is an interdisciplinary group and employs a cross-species, multidisciplinary approach, integrating MRI, transgenic mouse models and behavioural interventions.

The lab is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and supports career development for all team members. Within the School of Psychology & Neuroscience, we celebrate diversity and intersectionality by promoting profiles of LGBTQ+, ethnic minority, and neurodiverse staff and engage in work to decolonise and diversify our curriculum. Our school hosts an LGBTQ+ reading group alongside Rainbow Office Hours, a Race and Equality Network and a Neurodiversity Network open to all staff and students within our school. We endorse the principles of Athena SWAN and hold bronze, silver and gold awards across the University and a silver award within the school.
