Research Assistant
Applications for this vacancy closed on 6 October 2023 at 12:00PM
**About the role**
We have an exciting opportunity for a Cancer Research UK funded Research
Assistant to join the research group led by Prof. Andrew Blackford. The aim of
the lab’s research is to understand how DNA double-strand break repair protein
complexes are regulated at the molecular level, and to exploit this knowledge
for therapeutic benefit. Your role will be to carry out original research and
support in the general running of the lab in its day-to-day activities. You
will review and test hypotheses, generate high-quality, reproducible data, in
a format suitable for publication, presentation at meetings and submission for
grant applications to generate research income. You will manage your own
research and administrative activities and assist with education and training
of students and other staff when required.
This role is offered on a full-time basis and is fixed term for 3 years in the
first instance.
**About you**
You should possess a first degree (2:1 or above) in biomedical sciences such
as biology, biochemistry, genetics, or a related field. It's essential that
you have prior experience in mammalian cell culture, plasmid design, cloning,
and immunofluorescence microscopy. A background in areas like DNA damage
response, DNA replication, cell cycle, mitosis, or related chromosome biology
fields would be highly desirable. Familiarity with the Olympus ScanR
microscope or an equivalent high-content microscopy technique is a plus.
Additionally, experience in using lentivirus transduction to express
transgenes in human cells and conducting colony survival assays with human
cell lines will be advantageous.
**Application process**
If you would like to discuss this role please contact Prof. Andrew Blackford
at andrew.blackford@imm.ox.ac.uk.
You will be required to upload a supporting statement (setting out how you
meet the selection criteria), a curriculum vitae and the names and contact
details of two referees as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 6th October 2023.
