Research Assistant at Genetics, University of Cambridge (Germline Development)
Posted by Felipe Karam Teixeira, on 19 June 2018
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
The Karam Teixeira lab (https://karamteixeira.wixsite.com/website) at the University of Cambridge (Department of Genetics) is looking to recruit a Research Assistant to support a range of projects being carried out in our research group. We are primarily interested in germline development (stem cell regulation and genome defense mechanisms) and we use the Drosophila ovary as a model system (see Sanchez et al, Cell Stem Cell 2016; Teixeira et al., Nature 2017).
We are looking for enthusiastic and proactive candidates with expertise in standard molecular biology techniques (including genotyping, cloning, and RT-qPCR). Prior experience in fly genetics would be an advantage – although training can be provided where necessary. Candidates should have a B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in a relevant biological subject and should possess good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
