Overview
Senior Research Technician (105272) – School of Life Sciences, Gibbet Hill, Warwick. Fixed Term Contract | Full Time | 1.0 FTE | 36.5 hpw. There is funding to recruit a Senior Research Technician on Grade 5 for up to 13 months, ending by 31/05/2027.
An excellent opportunity is available to join the research group of Dr Emily Lane-Hill within the Neuroscience Cluster in the School of Life Sciences. The post is for 13 months, full time, and is available for an immediate start.
Project
The project, funded by Race Against Dementia, aims to determine the molecular mechanisms that underlie tau-induced neuronal and network dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases.
You will utilise a combination of molecular biology and imaging-based techniques to characterise interactions between tau protein and targets such as voltage-gated ion channels. There may also be opportunities to develop further skills in electrophysiology and in vivo work throughout the project.
Environment
As a research group we value collegiality and curiosity and we are committed to creating a warm and inclusive working environment, allowing individuals to develop their skills and interests in neuroscience research.
Informal Enquiries
Informal enquiries are encouraged and can be sent directly to Dr Emily Lane-Hill (e.hill.4@warwick.ac.uk).
