1 month ago


Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

Location: Sutton Bonington

Interview date: To be confirmed

We are inviting applications for a Research Associate/Fellow to join an exciting new research programme (iBreed) funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a novel in vitro gametogenesis platform.

The iBreed programme is a collaborative project between research teams led by Prof. Ramiro Alberio at the University of Nottingham and Dr. Tom Burdon and Prof. Bruce Whitelaw at University of Edinburgh (Roslin Institute). The team’s expertise in genetic engineering, stem cell and developmental biology will be applied to characterising bovine gametogenesis in vivo and directing differentiation in vitro. The project will focus on using state-of-the art genomic and epigenetic tools, gene editing and stem cell technologies available in the collaborating laboratories, to generate bovine gametes in vitro.

Successful applicants will have a strong scientific background in areas such as developmental/stem cell biology, organ culture, and/or gene editing/manipulation and will be expected to work collaboratively within and between the two teams. Applicants must be highly motivated and self-driven, and able to work independently and collaboratively. Applicants will have a PhD in cell/developmental biology or related area of biological science (PhD students about to submit their thesis in a relevant area of stem cell biology will be considered). A track record of publishing research is essential. Experience in bioinformatics and cellular differentiation is relevant for the project.

This full-time (36.25 hour) post is available immediately and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 3 years. Job share arrangements may be considered.

Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.
