We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Research Assistant with a
background in a life sciences laboratory environment to join the Dr. Ricardo
A. Fernandes group and the newly established Protein Production Platform at
the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Oxford Institute (COI), Nuffield
Department of Medicine.



COI research focuses on developing novel immunotherapies and vaccine
strategies against cancer and infectious disease. These advances are driven by
fundamental discoveries in cellular, molecular, and structural biology in
health and disease.





You will be responsible for designing, expressing, and purifying recombinant
proteins from mammalian, insect, or bacterial cells, performing molecular
cloning techniques, and maintaining DNA stocks for the project. You will be
tasked with determining the most appropriate methodologies to test hypotheses
using specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment and
conducting biophysical, biochemical, and cellular assays to characterise the
activity of synthetic proteins. You will also be responsible for managing your
own tasks, projects, and administrative activities, where appropriate. This
involves small-scale project management and coordinating multiple aspects of

chemistry, biotechnology, or related scientific areas along with experience in
following and adapting protocols and selecting appropriate experimental
methodologies. You will have experience in laboratory support in a life
science laboratory and familiarity with the underlying principles of
recombinant protein expression and purification. You will be highly organized,
with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage and catalogue
large quantities of samples. You will also have excellent interpersonal skills
with the ability to interact equally effectively with senior academic staff,
researchers, and support staff and the flexibility to work independently and
