Research Assistant – Protein Purification
Applications for this vacancy closed on 3 September 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant with experience of protein
purification, cloning and maintaining eukaryotic cell cultures for expression
to join the Biotechnology group’s small-research facility at the Centre for
Medicines Discovery.
You will be responsible for the production of purified recombinant protein for
a variety of projects with end uses including crystallography, assays and
cellular studies. You will work as part of a team to manage insect and
mammalian cell cultures, expand virus stocks and produce recombinant proteins
by infection as needed. You will help to maintain the infrastructure for
baculovirus-based expression, including shared responsibility for the cell
culture laboratory, instrumentation, supplies and consumables. You will also
assist with the development of protein assays and the cloning of expression
constructs.
It is essential that you hold a BSc degree in molecular biology, biochemistry
or chemistry, together with experience of large-scale protein purification and
troubleshooting and the ability to work independently or as part of a team and
to collaborate with colleagues on a range of projects. You will have excellent
oral, presentation and written communication skills in order to provide
reliable and precise reports and contribute sections to scientific
manuscripts, and a flexible attitude. Experience of molecular cloning
including PCR amplification is highly desirable.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required
to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application.
Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection
criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.
