Research Assistant
Applications for this vacancy closed on 4 March 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking a Research Assistant to join Dr Thomas Roberts’ Group based in
the Institute of Development and Regenerative Medicine on the Old Road Campus.
The Roberts laboratory focuses on developing RNA-based therapeutics for
neuromuscular disease. Our objectives include understanding disease biology,
identifying and validating therapeutic targets, biomarker development, and
developing gene-based nucleic acid therapeutic platforms. The laboratory uses
in vitro and animal models to evaluate these platforms and simultaneously
develops advanced delivery technologies to target relevant tissues and cells,
such as skeletal muscle, heart, and nervous system. The laboratory has
developed novel oligonucleotide therapeutics modalities for targeted gene
upregulation for the treatment of haploin sufficiency disorders. Research in
the laboratory also includes studying fundamental RNA biology and developing
RNA-based therapeutic agents and novel technologies for their delivery
The role requires the applicant to have a BSc or MSc degree in a relevant
science subject, with relevant practical working experience in a laboratory.
The applicant should be highly motivated and have the ability to communicate
effectively with others, must have experience in general cell culture
techniques and in a wide range of analytical tools of molecular biology (e.g.
cloning, western blot, RT-qPCR, and animal handling).
Applicants who fulfil the majority of the criteria are encouraged to apply.
To discuss the post in more detail, please contact Amarjit Bhomra, the Lab
Manager using the contact details below.
You will be required to upload a CV and Supporting Statement as part of your
online application. The Supporting Statement should include a cover letter and
should also clearly describe how you meet each of the selection criteria
listed in the job description. Click here for information and advice on
