Research Assistant

Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom University of Leicester Full time

Vacancy terms: Full time, job share considered, fixed term contract till 31 March 2026

Hours per week: 37.5

Advert closes midnight on: 09 June 2024

About the role

The project is part of an interdisciplinary, collaborative and international project involving groups in Imperial College London, the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) Amsterdam, the University of Oxford, and the University of Leicester.

This project focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms that control the regulation of 3D genome organisation. The 3D genome organization refers to the spatial arrangement of chromatin within the nucleus, including the positioning of chromosomes, formation of chromatin loops, and interactions between regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers. The dysregulation of 3D genome organization has been increasingly recognized as a significant factor in cancer development and progression. We aim to understand the molecular mechanisms that enable control of 3D genome organization. Understanding these control mechanisms will be essential for identifying novel therapeutic strategies.

We offer:

  • Collaborative and supportive research environment
  • State-of-the-art laboratory facilities
  • Mentorship from experienced researchers and professors
  • Access to a vibrant scientific community
  • Opportunities for national and international collaborations

As a Research Assistant, you will play a pivotal role in conducting experiments, analysing data, and interpreting results. You will engage in interdisciplinary research that combines structural biology, molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics to gain a holistic understanding of molecular mechanisms that enable control of 3D genome organisation.

About you

The successful candidate should have a BSc, MSc or PhD Degree in a relevant field (Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Biophysics, Chemistry or related disciplines) and a strong background in quantitative skills or Biochemistry & molecular biology techniques. You will also have a passion for unravelling molecular mechanisms of biological processes and excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Please ensure you submit your current CV and a cover letter as part of your application.

Additional information

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should made to Prof Daniel Panne
