Vacancy Reference: 171172
Salary: UofG Grade 5, £26,338 - £30,805 per annum
This post is full time (35 hours per week) and open ended with funding available for up to 24 months from start date.
**Please note, due to limited funding availability, we will be able to offer a salary at the first spinal point of Grade 5 (£26,338) only.**
The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 570 years, and today we are one of the world's top 100 universities. We are delighted to have recently been awarded Scottish University of the Year by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.
Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.
The School of Infection and Immunity is seeking an experienced Research Technician to support research activities in molecular microbiology and bacterial genetics under the supervision of Dr Arianne Babina (Principal Investigator).
The successful candidate will provide technical expertise in molecular microbiology and bacterial genetics, contributing to experiments, lab management, and supervision and training of team members to support ongoing research. You will contribute to short-term research projects and collaborate as part of larger research teams. Additionally, you will perform a range of technical support activities aligned with the School’s research strategy.
The Babina Lab uses microbiology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, experimental evolution, and large-scale “-omics” approaches to investigate how novel bacterial gene regulatory networks emerge and evolve to help bacteria rapidly adapt to environmental changes. Our research particularly focuses on the de novo emergence of novel gene regulatory mechanisms, such as non-coding RNAs and small proteins, from previously non-functional or non-coding DNA sequences.
