Candidates are invited to apply for a newly created Research Assistant post under the Department of Biomedical Science Industrial Strategy Initiative to work on a project funded by Paraytec Ltd, directed towards development of a biosensor platform for rapid detection of a COVID-19 biomarker. You will be responsible for engineering mammalian cell lines to express a series of recombinant proteins and using these to develop a bioassay based on fluorescence detection. This post will contribute to translation of basic biology findings into a commercial application. You should have a BSc (or equivalent experience) in a relevant scientific discipline, along with significant experience in cell line production, transfection, protein isolation, and bioassay development with significant laboratory experience in the use of biomolecular imaging.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We are keen to attract a diverse applicant pool, and we are aware that some under-represented groups are typically less confident about applying for jobs unless they are sure they comfortably meet all the criteria. With this in mind, we encourage all potential candidates to reflect on their strengths and experience in the broadest sense, including transferable skills where appropriate, when considering their suitability for the position.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
