The Division of Health Research (DHR) within Lancaster University’s Faculty of Health and Medicine is seeking to fill a Research Associate position to work on the Suicide, self-harm and people with learning disabilities: a scoping study project. The position is for 12 months, full time, starting in March 2025, or shortly thereafter. This project is funded by Three NIHR Research Schools’ Mental Health Programme. This study is a direct result of public engagement work with researchers and health professionals, and self-advocates with learning disabilities.

In this role, you will join a team of academic researchers to review existing evidence about people with learning disabilities and self-harm and suicide. The project will help to clarify what we currently know about support for people with learning disabilities who self-harm and about suicide prevention for this group. It will also review how research on suicide and self-harm in adults with learning disabilities has been done.

You will play a key role in conducting the research and disseminating its findings. You will have an MSc or PhD in Health Research or a relevant social sciences discipline with robust experience of evidence synthesis. Experience of conducting systematic and/or scoping reviews is essential. The ability to work flexibly with varied stakeholders and to manage competing priorities, and to work independently as well as collaboratively are essential.

The post will be based in the Division of Health Research at Lancaster University (Health Innovation One), but hybrid and remote working is an option. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements, including working week and days/hours worked, flexible start and finish times or condensed hours.

The Faculty provides an environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee, promoting a healthy work-life balance. We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis, as well as the Athena SWAN Charter, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in higher education.

The Benedetto lab is looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join a wider collaborative project, studying how the gut-brain axis mediates gut bacterium effects on host thermotolerance in ectotherms. The position is funded by the Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) for 40 months. The Benedetto lab is part of the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences at Lancaster University, UK, where we apply integrated physiology approaches to understand how animal health is achieved through the interplay of organ systems and the gut microbiota, using C. elegans as a reductive model.

The current project aims to identify conserved and metaorganism-specific gut-brain-axis (GBA) mechanisms of thermotolerance in worms, bees and fish. It combines field sampling across three countries (Iceland, France and the UK) with laboratory experiments, involving microbial culturomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, metabolic modelling, and advanced live microscopy approaches. The appointee will primarily work with C. elegans and occasionally with bees, collaborating with research associates and PhD students working on worm, bee and stickleback models in collaborating institutions in the UK, France, Germany, and the USA. The project is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary in nature, providing an excellent opportunity for an ambitious early-career scientist to establish a strong research network and carve a path to full independence.

You are required to hold a PhD in a relevant field with a publication track-record commensurate to your experience, have expertise in C. elegans or other transparent model nematode genetics and microbiology, be familiar with online databases and basic bioinformatics tools, have a keen interest in multiomics approaches and microscopy, be willing to travel abroad for sample collections (in France) and work at collaborating institutions (USA, Germany, UK) as required by the project, and be willing to undergo training and acquire any additional necessary skills. We are looking for a highly motivated, highly organised and collaborative individual with excellent written and verbal communication skills. Experience in worm gut microbiology, omics analyses, field collection and successfully managing collaborative projects will be advantageous.

Our lab and the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences provide a friendly research environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee and actively promotes a healthy work-life balance. The Faculty is committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies and has held a Silver Athena SWAN award since 2014 in recognition of its good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in higher education and research. We welcome applications from people in all diversity groups.

Informal enquiries are welcome. Please contact Dr Alexandre Benedetto (a.benedetto@lancaster.ac.uk) with a CV for more information.
