About the Project

The University of Manchester is seeking a highly skilled Research Associate in Genetics to contribute to a project focused on analysing disease-specific variants that cause schwannomatosis. This rare tumour syndrome predisposes individuals to the development of multiple nerve sheath tumours, and the project aims to identify novel mechanisms of action that result in disease-specific phenotypes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Creating genome edited cell models of variants of interest
  • Assessing the effects of these variants on gene expression and function using techniques such as RNA sequencing and methylation analysis

Requirements

The successful candidate will have a strong background in genetics and genomics, with experience in genome editing and gene expression analysis. They will also have excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team.

About the University

The University of Manchester is a world-leading research institution, with a strong commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds and offer a range of benefits, including flexible working arrangements and a positive work-life balance.
