An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Laboratory Technician to join the Cell & Developmental Biology Department, to support the cutting-edge science of the John Innes Centre.
About the Ding Group
The Ding lab investigates the role of RNA structure in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, including translation, polyadenylation, RNA splicing, RNA stability, and RNA processing. We are also exploring how RNA structure alters in response to environmental changes and developing new experimental and analytical approaches for revealing RNA structure and RNA-protein interactions.
We developed novel and powerful platforms to study RNA structure in vivo and across diverse species at both the genome-wide scale and in individual RNAs. These breakthroughs have removed technological barriers and opened up new avenues for RNA biology research. Our lab utilises multidisciplinary knowledge and approaches in the areas of nucleic acid chemistry, RNA biology and bioinformatics.
The role
The post holder will assist the Postdoctoral Researchers in conducting experiments on vector design/construction, genotyping, transformation, seed harvest, and other lab tech tasks.
The ideal candidate
You will have a good general level of education, with a BSc, Masters, or PhD in biology or plant biology being advantageous. The post holder will have knowledge in plant and molecular biology, as well as experience working on vector design/construction, genotyping, transformation, seed harvest, and other lab tech tasks.
