Research Assistant
Applications for this vacancy closed on 2 July 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking candidates with either extensive technical experience in
molecular biology and tissue culture techniques or a strong willingness to
learn and become developers of new therapies, with the potential to transition
into a DPhil position based on job performance. The role requires applicants
to hold a degree in a relevant scientific subject (BSc, MSc, MD).
The successful candidate will join Prof. Matthew Woods' Group at the Institute
of Development and Regenerative Medicine on the Old Road Campus. The
laboratory has developed novel oligonucleotide therapies for muscle disorders,
including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Myotonic Dystrophy type 1
(DM1), which are currently being tested in clinical trials. Additionally, the
group has developed peptide and antibody-based delivery platforms for targeted
cell delivery and has discovered new delivery technologies.
The position is offered on a full-time basis for a 1-year fixed-term contract,
funded by the CureHeart project. CureHeart is a £30m global award funded by
the British Heart Foundation. This award is one of the largest non-commercial
grants ever awarded and provides a “once in a generation opportunity” to offer
hope to patients and families affected by these deadly diseases. The award
aims to develop revolutionary and precise technologies to silence the faulty
genes responsible for these conditions. The team includes world-leading
scientists from Oxford, Harvard, and other highly prestigious institutions.
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
