Research Assistant in Signalling Pathways (Part Time)
Job description
Queen's University Belfast is one of the leading universities in the UK and Ireland, with a distinguished heritage and history. With over 24,000 students, 4,200 staff and an annual turnover of some GBP 300m, Queen's University Belfast plays a unique leadership role in Northern Ireland. As a member of the Russell Group of UK research-intensive universities,
Queen's University Belfast combines excellence in research and education with a student centred ethos.
Queen's University has generous terms and conditions of employment underpinned by excellent benefits. We also provide attractive well-being, family friendly and other lifestyle benefits.
The Wellcome Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine (WWIEM) is an interdisciplinary research centre which is committed to the highest quality scientific endeavour, with over 250 basic and clinical scientists working on site. Our mission is to understand the mechanisms of disease and use that understanding to develop innovative new treatments and therapies to improve patient outcomes.
We are recruiting for a Part Time Research Assistant to be an active member of the Gene Regulation Group led by Dr. Vijay Tiwari in the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine. The position will contribute to internationally competitive research on the role of signalling pathways in pathogenesis. The group employs high-throughput genomics assays and cutting-edge epigenetics and molecular biology tools in combination with cancer biology and neurobiology. The resulting datasets are analysed using computational and systems biology approaches to generate comprehensive models of epigenetic regulation of gene expression during cancer metastasis and neurogenesis. The successful applicant will have responsibilities in independent research, supervision, planning, day-to-day lab management, collaborations and outreach.
Our five core values (Integrity, Connected, Ambition, Respect, Excellence) have been developed by staff and students. They express our shared understanding of what we believe, how we aim to behave and what we aspire to be as an international organisation.
The Research Assistant will have:
Degree or equivalent in molecular biology or biochemistry or Pharmacology.
At least 1 year's recent relevant work experience to include basic molecular biology techniques such as loss and gain of function experiments, cloning; mammalian cell culture; immunohistochemistry; immunofluorescence assays; functional experiments in vivo using mouse models
Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Effie Kostarelli via email
