Specialist Technician

Found in: beBee S GB - 3 weeks ago


Colchester, United Kingdom University of Essex Full time

The University of Essex is looking to recruit a highly motivated and organised individual to work with Dr Philippe Laissue and Prof Phil Mullineaux on an exciting project looking at plant signaling. The successful applicant will play a central role in the project and should have outstanding commitment and good abilities for lab-based research.

You will be joining the School of Life Sciences, working on this pioneering project funded by the BBSRC. We are using advanced microscopy and fluorescent biosensors to identify a new signaling pathway in plants.

We have had substantial investment in the bioimaging unit with the latest advanced microscopes (widefield, spinning disk confocal and light-sheets) and dedicated staff, as well as state-of-the-art plant growth facilities. Supporting our staff is important to us and we offer a range of provisions including flexible working and training opportunities. The School of Life Sciences is committed to the development of technical staff.

You should hold a university degree in a scientific discipline (or an equivalent qualification) and a proven ability for dedicated, well-organised and focussed lab-based research work. Being able to work independently, clearly communicate experimental outcomes with the principal investigators, and trouble-shoot lower-level experimental or technical issues is also essential. Experience in plant transfection and/or fluorescence microscopy is an advantage.

This is a fixed-term contract until 31 January 2026 part-time (0.8 FTE), starting as soon as possible.

After the end of the fixed-term contract, there is the possibility to use the acquired skills and knowledge as the basis for a PhD in the Laissue research group.

For the full list of skills and experience required, please refer to the person specification.

Please see the attached job pack, which contains a full job description and person specification which outlines the full duties, skills, qualifications and experience needed for this role plus more information relating to the post. We recommend you read this information carefully before making an application.  Applications should be made on-line, but if you would like advice or help in making an application, or need information in a different format, please contact resourcing@essex.ac.uk
