Research Project Support Officer
3 weeks ago
Applications are invited for the above temporary full-time post working in the laboratory of Dr Chris Staples, within the North West Cancer Research Centre in the School of Medical and Health Sciences. Research in the Staples laboratory is centred around DNA repair and the replication stress response, and is currently supported by UKRI and North West Cancer Research.
The appointee will be a highly motivated individual with laboratory experience, and an undergraduate degree in a life sciences discipline. The core aim of the project is to employ CRISPR-Cas9 drop-out screening to identify novel genetic dependencies in DNA repair-deficient cancer cell lines. Duties will include the generation of publication-quality scientific data, and the provision of support in the day-to-day running of the laboratory including ordering of reagents and supplies. Given that viral libraries should be considered oncogenic, the successful applicant will also be expected to be familiar with biosafety procedures and to adhere closely to these as required. The role also requires good planning and organisational skills, and to communicate professionally and effectively with other team members.
Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.

Overview
College of Human Sciences
Established in 1884, Bangor University has a continuing tradition of academic excellence, both in terms of its teaching and its research. Today, Bangor University has approximately 7,000 full-time and 3,000 part-time students supported by 2,400 members of staff, with approximately 45% of students coming from Wales, 49% from the rest of the UK and Europe, and 6% from the rest of the world, from as many as 69 countries. 18% of our students are studying for postgraduate degrees. The University’s mission statement is to be a world-class research-led university, to provide teaching and learning of the highest quality, and to contribute to the development of the economy, health and culture of a sustainable Wales and a sustainable world. The College of Human Sciences has formally linked with the local Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board enabling an integrated approach to developing research, training, medical and healthcare education that will serve the needs of the people of North Wales and beyond.
School
The School of Medical and Health Sciences is the prime focus for medical, health and care education and research at Bangor University. The School offers a career-spanning portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate degrees and short courses for healthcare and allied professionals. Cancer Research is a core research area within the School, and the successful applicant will work within UKRI Future Leader Fellow Dr Chris Staples’ laboratory, which is housed in the North West Cancer Research Institute.
The Project
The successful applicant will in the first instance conduct a series of chemogenetic CRISPR-Cas9 ‘drop-out’ screens to identify novel genetic vulnerabilities in cancer cell lines deficient in several DNA repair factors. This will require excellent tissue culture skills, the ability to perform PCR and gDNA isolation, and the ability to adhere closely to biosafety protocols. CRISPR and siRNA will also be used to validate screen hits, in conjunction with clonogenic survival assays and detection of DNA damage markers by indirect immunofluorescence.
