Are you interested in working as part of a large collaborative team that will employ an innovative multidisciplinary strategy to dissect the molecular mechanisms of ribosome specialisation?
A Research Assistant position is available in the research group of Dr Emma Thomson at the University of Sheffield. The Research Assistant will be part of a large collaborative team from the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds and Nottingham, funded by a BBSRC Strategic Longer and Larger grant (sLoLa). This project aims to unravel how compositionally distinct ribosomes enable translation of specific mRNAs across different eukaryotic model systems that cover >1 billion years of evolution. Overall, we aim to understand the detailed molecular mechanisms of ribosome specialisation and determine common features across eukaryotes. As a Research Assistant you will carry out experiments both independently and as part of a team using a broad range of experimental approaches including mammalian cell culture, genome engineering and affinity purification of specialised ribosomes. You will also play a key role in supporting the daily operations and organisation of the lab.
You should have a good honours degree or equivalent experience, excellent communication skills and an ability to work in a team. Scientific experience in the following areas is also essential: Preparing lab solutions; Using scientific equipment; Data analysis using software and managing and organising laboratory resources and data.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
