Summary
University of Sheffield
We are looking for a team player to join our lab to help us finish a project on understanding the fundamental molecular and cellular changes of the testis with ageing, which may underpin increased morbidity in the offspring of older fathers. The job would suit someone who would be willing to work part-time 2 days per week until September and full-time, 5 days a week, from September until end of April. You would be joining a dynamic, small team based at the Bateson Centre, in Firth Court, at the University of Sheffield. The PI is committed to their staff career development and this technician position could be a good starting point for a candidate wanting to pursue a PhD.
We use Zebrafish as a model, and we are looking for a candidate with a good fundamental knowledge of Reproductive Biology, Histopathology and Physiology and expertise in Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence and microscopy imaging. Basic image J knowledge and experience in image analysis will be favoured. We will also favour someone with previous adult zebrafish histology experience.
The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.
We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.
Find out more at www.sheffield.ac.uk/benefits and join us to become part of something special.
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
