Job description

Research Assistant in Virology

Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in Molecular Cell Biology or Virology. Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

The Whitehouse research group is seeking a highly motivated research assistant to investigate how the human tumour virus, Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), manipulates host cell pathways to enhance its own replication. The project will use a range of molecular, cell biology and cell imaging approaches to highlight novel KSHV-mediated mechanisms to regulate viral gene expression.

For this role, you should have a first degree/Masters in Molecular Cell Biology/Virology or a closely allied discipline. You should also have experience in Transmission Electron Microscopy and confocal imaging techniques (FISH and FRAP), and experience in a wide range of RNA-based techniques and replication complex/organelle purification.

The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was awarded a Silver award in 2020. We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees. Our Athena SWAN webpage provides more information.
