Research Assistant

The Parasite Biology Lab, led by Dr Gabriel Rinaldi at the Department of
Biology is interested in the fundamental biology of parasitic worms that
affect over 1 billion people worldwide. The team was relocated to the
Department of Biology in October 2024 and is currently in the process of
setting up the whole life cycle of schistosomes, which is essential for the
generation of parasite material. Parasite material, including all
developmental stages of Schistosoma spp, is used to generate large scale bulk
and single cell omic databases and validate data-generated hypothesis. We are
seeking for an enthusiastic Research Assistant with extensive experience in
two main areas: (1) life cycle maintenance of schistosomes; (2) molecular
biology and NGS library preparation.





The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
