**Salary Range**: £28,344 to £45,357 depending on qualification and experience**

**About us**

The CRUK Scotland Institute is a cancer research institute, situated in Glasgow with approximately 250 researchers split across 30 research groups consisting of PIs, postdoctoral scientists, PhD students and scientific officers. It is one of Europe's leading cancer research centres, supporting cutting-edge work into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development.

**Position Outline**

We currently have an exciting opportunity with a vacancy for a Senior Scientific Officer in our Transgenic Technologies lab. The primary role of this position will be to support state-of the-art creation of genetically engineered _in vivo_ cancer models designed for discovery research.

You will be expected to work as part of a collaborative team, conducting procedures required for the generation of new transgenic cancer models. New cancer models will be created using a combination of CRISPR genome editing and gene targeting in embryonic stem (ES) cells. This will require the successful applicant to contribute to carrying out a variety of embryo manipulation techniques including microinjection, _in vitro_ fertilisation (IVF) and cryopreservation. This role may also involve mammalian cell culture, molecular analysis using techniques such as PCR, and colony management.

You should be highly motivated and have good communication and organisational skills, being able to work both independently and in close collaboration with other team members involved with the transgenic projects. A flexible approach to your working pattern is necessary as there may be some weekend work required as part of this role.

The diversity of our staff and students is also what makes the Institute such a vibrant place to work and advance discoveries in cancer research.
