CSE/School of Biological Sciences/Institute of Cell Biology
Full-time: 35 hours per week
Fixed-term contract: up to 24 months
The Opportunity:
The School of Biological Sciences seeks to appoint Research Assistant on a fixed-term contract for 24 months.
A research assistant position is available in Kyle Muir’s lab at the Institute of Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh. The Muir lab investigates fundamental biochemical mechanisms of human chromosome segregation. The successful candidate will support research projects aiming to understand how human SMC complexes reorganise chromosomes during mitosis.
The project will involve applying in vitro reconstitution and structural biology to dissect the mechanisms that regulate chromosome segregation. The position is initially fixed-term for 12 months and would be suited for ambitious and motivated individuals with a potential interest in pursuing a PhD.
The candidate will benefit from excellent core resources, including a state-of-the-art Glacios 2 electron microscope equipped with a Falcon 4i direct detector and Selectris-X energy filter, as well as proteomics and light-microscopy facilities.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week).
