We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Research Associate to join our team in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University. The successful candidate will be employed for a period of 24 months at 100% FTE, as part of a project entitled "MicroSNARE: Automated Enrichment Of Circulating Tumour DNA For Improved Cancer Treatment".
About the ProjectThe project aims to develop novel solutions for the enrichment of circulating tumour DNA. The recruited researcher will be responsible for developing and testing methods to enrich specific sequence variants from within cancer patient's cell free DNA samples. They will also collaborate with Bioengineers in the deployment of a fluid-handling robotic platform, whose performance will be compared to a microfluidic system.
Key Responsibilities- Conduct and manage research and related administrative activities, with guidance as required, ensuring that project aims and objectives are met.
- Working closely with the supervisory team, develop and plan research objectives.
- Present information on research progress and outcomes to, for example, project lead, research team, etc.
- Support the publication or research reports, conference, and indexed journal papers in line with project requirements.
- Build appropriate networks within the team.
- Support dissemination and contribute to the preparation of technical workshops, seminars, and conferences as appropriate.
- Ensure that all data collection undertaken as part of the project is done so ethically and in line with both UK (GDPR) privacy and data protection policies, and in compliance with the requirements of the funder.
The successful candidate will have a PhD degree in Molecular Biology or a related cognate discipline, with experience of Molecular Biology (PCR, and other DNA quantification, sequencing). They will be a clear communicator with excellent organisational skills, and experience of quality control. Fluency in English is essential, and proficiency in Microsoft Office Software (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is required.
