UE06: £33,882 - £39,105
School of Biological Sciences – Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Full time: 35 hours per week
Fixed term: 12 months
We are looking for a Research Technician in insect reproductive genetics and epigenetics. This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns.
The Opportunity:
We are seeking an experienced research technician (RT) who will contribute to the efficient day-to-day running of the lab, as well as to plan and carry out experimental work. The main job purpose is to assist with ongoing research on the reproductive genetics and chromosome behaviour of several insect study systems. This will involve conducting experiments and preforming genetic and cytogenetic analyses. We therefore require a candidate with a graduate or postgraduate degree in a relevant field.
Your skills and attributes for success:
Molecular wet lab experience, in particular with advanced cytogenetics and microscopy
Excellent time management and organisational skills
Providing training and supervision to both students and other lab members
Experience studying chromosome behaviour and meiosis
Experience ChIP-seq/Cut&Tag sequencing data, RNAi experiments, FISH/in situ hybridization would be very advantageous.
