Research Associate in Molecular and Functional Genomics


Research Associate in Molecular and Functional Genomics

We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral Research Associate to join a translational research programme funded by the Medical Research Council. Based at the University of Manchester, the project focuses on improving molecular diagnosis and understanding disease mechanisms in inherited eye diseases using advanced genomic technologies, long-read sequencing, and functional assays.

The successful applicant will independently lead laboratory work, including genomic, molecular, and cell biology experiments. Experience in variant characterisation, RNA analysis, or functional assays (e.g. splicing reporters, luciferase assays, or NMD inhibition) is essential. We particularly welcome applicants with broader biological expertise relevant to modelling disease mechanisms or therapeutic development, which may include the use of stem cell-derived systems (e.g. iPSC models), tissue models, or in vivo approaches. Familiarity with long-read sequencing and bioinformatics interpretation is also desirable.

This position offers the opportunity to join a collaborative, interdisciplinary team working across clinical, computational, and experimental domains.

Interviews to be Wednesday 30th July

What you will get in return:


* Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
* Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
* Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
* Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
* Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
