Laboratory Manager / Senior Scientist

We are seeking to appoint a Laboratory Manager/Senior Scientist in Biochemistry and structural biology of dynein motor assembly, to join the Mali group at the Dunn School of Pathology in Oxford.

We are looking for a lab manager/senior scientist who is passionate about supporting a diverse and energetic team and who cares about the scientists and the rigor of the science that the lab is producing. We are keen to recruit someone who is a team player and who can help push various ongoing biochemical and structural projects in the lab to completion. Demonstrated experience in biochemistry and structural biology, especially cryo-EM sample preparation and analysis are essential. Skills in mammalian cell biology and molecular biology and working in a collaborative international research environment are highly desirable.

As a highly organised scientist, you will also be central to the smooth running of the research group, including providing day-to-day support, maintaining key equipment, managing lab stocks and lab safety documentation. The post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, PhD and project students. There is also the possibility to be directly involved in research projects, both in designing and performing experiments.

The post is available initially for the fixed term of two years with the option to extend for another year. If you are interested in this position and have the skills and experience, we are looking for, please apply below. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application. Informal inquiries can be sent to Dr Girish Ram Mali via email:  girish.mali@path.ox.ac.uk.

The closing date for applications is midday on Friday 27th November 2026. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.

At the Dunn School we are committed to supporting the professional and career development of our postdocs and research staff. To help them thrive and achieve their ambitions, we have created a comprehensive range of opportunities and initiatives designed to provide an exceptional launchpad for their future careers.
