3 weeks ago
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Assistant / Technical Science Support to join the at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Biochemistry and Metabolism.
About the Balk Group
The research of Janneke Balk’s group is focused on iron homeostasis in plants. We use genetic, cell biology and biochemical approaches to understand the function of proteins involved in iron uptake, transport and regulatory processes. The basic knowledge we gain can be used for improving plant nutrition, including enhancing the iron levels in plant foods through molecular breeding, known as biofortification. We work closely together with the group of Cristobal Uauy on increasing iron in wheat grain.
The role
The research assistant will select gene-edited wheat lines for field trials, as part of ongoing efforts to develop high-iron wheat. Tasks will include genotyping, sequencing, phenotyping and crossing. They will be part of an exciting international collaboration funded by UK-CGIAR to exploit gene-editing for global food security.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to enhance your skills in plant breeding and genetics, while developing experience with gene-edited crops.
The ideal candidate
The ideal candidate should have an MSc in plant science, crop genetics or equivalent. A PhD degree in wheat genetics would be advantageous but is not essential. Practical knowledge of high throughput genotyping and experience with phenotyping is essential. Knowledge of CRISPR/Cas gene editing and biofortification is desirable.
Candidates should have experience in performing research on plant models and giving presentations on research data, as well as previous experience with plant phenotyping and sampling.
The post holder will have excellent communication skills, time management and organisational skills, and the ability to independently using initiative and applying problem solving skills.
