Post-doctoral Research Associate Weir Lab @ University

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to a project entitled “Targeting the primary afferent drivers of neuropathic pain,” working with Dr Greg Weir and his neurobiology of pain lab.

Our lab aims to define the pathological changes that give rise to neuropathic pain. We use this fundamental understanding to develop innovative strategies to reverse these changes and ultimately treat pain. This project is a close collaboration between our group in Glasgow and the lab of Prof. David Bennett at the University of Oxford. The postholder will have access to a wide range of cutting-edge experimental approaches, including opto- and chemo genetics, omics technologies, and stem cell culture.

They will be fully supported in developing their scientific career within the inclusive and collaborative environment of the wider Spinal Cord Group at Glasgow. 5 year fixed term post, contact  for further info. Deadline 2nd July 2026
