The successful candidate will contribute to the scientific development of these projects while also leading independent and collaborative research within the lab. What will you be doing? Design and conduct biochemical experiments investigating DNA–protein interactions relevant to nucleotide excision repair and transcription-coupled repair. Develop and optimise assays (e.g., DNA repair assays, EMSA, fluorescence anisotropy). Collaborate closely with PhD students and support their training and development. Analyse and interpret experimental results; contribute to publications and dissemination. Assist with lab organisation, compliance, and reporting. Supervise undergraduate research projects and contribute to teaching activities where appropriate.
