Research Assistant/Associate- Twigger Group
2 months ago
The Cambridge Lactation Laboratory ) is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Research Assistant/Associate to support the Cambridgeshire Multiomics of Milk (CAMB MOM) study. Join a dynamic and growing research group in the Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, under the leadership of Dr. Alecia-Jane Twigger. The team is passionate about women's and infant health and specializes in both experimental (wet lab) and bioinformatic (dry lab) research. Within the group, we will provide you with further training in these disciplines. We also offer the opportunity to undertake 10 days per year of external training programmes to support your career development.
The CAMB MOM study conducts multiomics analyses (lipidomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics) on samples from a cohort of breastfeeding participants in Cambridgeshire. The insights gained from gene-gene interaction networks will be tested using in vitro mammary organoid models and integrated into computational models. By investigating the molecular pathways of human milk production, we aim to resolve breastfeeding challenges and promote optimal long-term health for mothers and infants.
We seek a competent individual with excellent laboratory skills in molecular biology and cell culture. Preferred qualifications include:
- Previous clinical research experience
- Familiarity with in vitro technologies (e.g., tissue culture, 3D organoids, co-cultures)
- Experience with molecular analysis (e.g. RNA extraction and purification, protein analysis, histology, multiplexed immunostaining, microscopy)
- Experience with multiomics analysis and a basic understanding of bioinformatics analysis (e.g., bulk or single-cell RNA-seq analysis).
The ideal candidate will demonstrate responsibility, initiative, independent thinking, and possess excellent communication and organizational skills. Line management experience and the ability to work effectively both individually and within a diverse team are highly desirable.
Being part of the Cambridge Lactation Laboratory, you will have the opportunity to contribute your ideas to ongoing research. You will be able to engage with an opportunity-rich scientific and clinical research environment within the University of Cambridge and nearby Cambridge Biomedical Campus. You will also have the opportunity to expand your research network, engaging with the wider international research community. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment that promotes intellectual curiosity and scientific excellence. We encourage applications from a diverse group of backgrounds and allow for flexible working hours.
The University of Cambridge is a signatory to the San-Francisco Declaration on Research (Assessment DORA), and in recruitment or promotion evaluations will assess research on the basis of its merits rather than the journal or venue in which it is published. Applicants should not include Journal Impact Factors or uncontextualized metrics in their applications. For more information:
