We are seeking a Research Assistant to be based in the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology who will provide subject-specific assistance to a Principal Investigator (PI) and their research team.

You should possess a degree in biochemistry/molecular/cell biology (at least 2.1 grade) and experience in molecular biology (cloning, expression) and protein purification (FPLC).

The main task will be the production of recombinant proteins including cloning, protein expression (using bacterial, insect and mammalian systems) and purification (FPLC). You will use a combination of approaches in protein biochemistry (SDS PAGE, HPLC, immunoassays), in support of the existing research team.

The post provides the opportunity to work with a multi-disciplinary, experienced, research team. The project would suit a motivated and committed scientist interested in using protein biochemistry/molecular and cell biology techniques. You will also be involved in the day-to-day organisation of the laboratory, including ordering essential consumables and maintenance of equipment.
