You will oversee the efficient daily operation of Prof Marcotti’s laboratory and provide research support for specific activities, including performing surgical procedures on mice, overseeing the breeding of transgenic animals and using programming skills for data analysis. The ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team with several Research Associates and PhD students is also essential.
You will join a vibrant group of basic scientists pursuing a spectrum of discovery and translational research in hearing and deafness.
