Job Description:
We seek a research technician to join our European Research Council funded team exploring the mechanisms of spectral tuning and G-protein selectivity in animal opsins, and applying that knowledge to engineer new optogenetic tools.
Applicants must be confident in general molecular biology and cell culture techniques, and comfortable with measuring and manipulating light as a biological stimulus.
The project will involve working with laboratory rodents, and candidates should have relevant training and hold a Home Office Personal Licence.
The successful applicant will focus on project-specific research tasks but also contribute to lab management. Familiarity with health and safety procedures and legislation regarding genetically modified organisms would be advantageous.
The candidate will join a dynamic research group in Manchester, collaborating with ERC Synergy award partners in Switzerland (Gebhard Schertler) and Germany (Peter Hegemann).
Note: Successful candidates may undergo pre-employment screening by a third party. Employment is contingent upon passing this screening. By applying, you consent to this process.
What you will get in return:
* Market-leading pension scheme
* Health and wellbeing services including Employee Assistance Programme
* Generous annual leave plus bank holidays
* Paid leave during Christmas closure
* Discounts at major retailers
