Job description

About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly talented and motivated research assistant to join Professor Madalena Tarsounas’ research group. The research in our lab focuses on investigating how BRCA1 and BRCA2 facilitate DNA replication and DNA double-strand break repair using cell/molecular biology approaches and high-throughput technologies and bioinformatics. As a researcher, you are expected to address questions and plan, execute, and analyse the experimental procedures with the guideline of senior researchers. Your contribution to paper publication as well as lab maintenance is encouraged. Responsibilities include using bioinformatics to analyse data generated by high-throughput sequencing technologies (e.g. RNA-seq) and validating results using molecular biology techniques including cell culture, RT-qPCR and microscopy. You will provide advice and guidance to research students and members of the research group where appropriate.
You will manage your own research and administrative activities, within guidelines provided by senior colleagues, contribute to wider project planning, including ideas for new research projects and determine the most appropriate methodologies to test hypotheses, and identify suitable alternatives if technical problems arise. You would need to select, follow and adapt experimental protocols
About you
