Job summary

A three-year Research Associate position is available to join the laboratory of Marco Trizzino in the Department of Life Sciences, based at the South Kensington Campus of Imperial College London.

The Trizzino lab employs induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) differentiation and functional genomics to study developmental gene regulation, with particular interest for human craniofacial and neural development.

Duties and responsibilities

The main focus of the position will be to investigate how human-specific transposable elements have rewired the gene regulatory networks necessary for human neurodevelopment.

  • To take initiatives in the planning of research
  • To direct the work of small research teams
  • To perform experiments with human pluripotent stem cells and genomics
  • To conduct data analysis
  • To ensure the validity and reliability of data at all times
  • To write reports for submission to research sponsors
  • To present findings to colleagues and at conferences
  • To submit publications to refereed journals

Essential requirements

You should hold, or be near completion of, a PhD degree in biological sciences by the start of employment. It is essential that you have the ability to work as part of a team, the ability to develop and apply new concepts and a creative approach to problem-solving. You will also have excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Previous experience with iPSC culture/differentiation and genomics, including single-cell, would be greatly advantageous but not essential. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the laboratory, familiarity with computer programming would be appreciated but not required.

Further information

Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant.
