**Salary**:
- £38,282 to £43,947 per annum, inclusive.**Closing Date**:
- Wednesday 17 April 2024**Reference**:
- ITD-DIB-2024-09The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is one of the world’s leading public health universities. Our mission is to improve health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant to undertake research concerned with understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning red blood cell invasion in the malaria parasite _Plasmodium knowlesi, _as part of a collaborative Discovery Award funded by the Wellcome Trust. The role will build on the development of _P. knowlesi_ as an innovative and powerful model to understand how malaria parasites are able to invade host cells, a process that underpins infection and disease. The work will build on our team’s success in adapting CRISPR-Cas9 to _P. knowlesi_, as well as redefining key processes during invasion as well as the molecular roles of parasite proteins in driving these processes. Working closely with a postdoctoral research fellow within the team, the applicant will use experimental genetics approaches to study parasite genes associated with key roles in gliding motility, erythrocyte deformation and merozoite reorientation.
The work will be undertaken within the Moon Lab at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and in close collaboration with the Knuepfer Lab (Royal Veterinary College, UK) and Frischknecht Lab (Heidelberg University, Germany). In addition, this role comes with the potential opportunity to undertake a funded staff PhD whilst working as a Research Assistant, and thus is well suited to individuals enthusiastic to learn new skills and work at greater depth in molecular parasitology.
The post is full-time 35 hours per week, 1.0 FTE and fixed-term for 4 years. The post is funded by the Wellcome Trust and is available from 1st May 2024.
Please note that if you are shortlisted and are unable to attend on the interview date it may not be possible to offer you an alternative date.
**The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We believe that when people feel respected and included, they can be more creative, successful, and happier at work. While we have more work to do, we are committed to building an inclusive workplace, a community that everyone feels a part of, which is safe, respectful, supportive and enables all to reach their full potential.
