An exciting opportunity for a Research Associate is available in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath.
About us:
The Licchesi lab studies the biochemical properties and cellular functions of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitylates and this project will specifically explore the contribution of new ubiquitin-dependent mechanisms to glioblastoma stemness.
This project is part of a multi-disciplinary collaboration with Dr Florian Siebzehnrubl and Professor Paola Borri, both based in Cardiff.
About you:
We are looking for a self-motivated scientist with a PhD in molecular/cell biology or biochemistry and with a passion for ubiquitin research.
You will have hands-on relevant experience including ubiquitin research, cell signalling, cancer biology, mammalian cell culture including genome editing, flow cytometry, as well as design and analysis of Omics studies.
You will also have demonstrated ability to work independently and also as part of a team, strong organisational and data management skills, and ideally have a first author publication in a relevant scientific journals of good standing.
Further information:
As a member of the Department of Life Sciences at Bath, you will have access to the state-of-the-art MC2 Bioimaging facility which brings together advanced microscopy and flow cytometry instruments (Zeiss LSM880 confocal system with Airyscan & Multi-photon laser, high-confocal Fluorescence Microscope, Becton Dickinson FACSAria III cell sorter, and a hypoxic facility) together with biophysical and chemical characterisation capabilities and a new biotechnology suite for protein expression and purification.
This fixed-term appointment is funded by the Medical Research Council and is available for up to 36 months.
