Contract & job type: Full-time, fixed-term until 31/01/2030

About us:

At the Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) we undertake discovery science where we reassemble physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, tissue and systems level of organisation. In so doing we provide a bridge to translational medicine, and interface between physical and life sciences. We are committed not only to innovative research and the highest standard of teaching, but also to creating an inclusive and supportive working environment.

Overview of the role:

We are seeking a Research Assistant to join the Derrick group at the Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine. The position will support the group’s research into the genetic origins of Bicuspid Aortic Valve, the most common congenital heart disease. The ideal candidate will hold a degree in a relevant biological subject, have experience working with zebrafish and good lab skills. In this role, you will be responsible for general laboratory management, maintain animal colonies and run a research project. This post is fixed term until 31/01/2030.

Key responsibilities:

Manage own research and administrative activities, within guidelines provided by senior colleagues
Contribute to wider project planning, including ideas for new research projects
Determine the most appropriate methodologies to test hypotheses, and identify suitable alternatives if technical problems arise
Select, follow, and adapt experimental protocols
Gather, analyse, and present scientific data from a variety of sources
Contribute to scientific reports and journal articles and the presentation of data/papers at conferences
Responsible for general laboratory management and administration, including stock control of laboratory consumables
Working with the Principal Investigator, maintain efficient running of animal colonies
Represent the research group at external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone

Selection criteria:

Hold a degree in a relevant biological subject, together with experience of working in a lab environment
Possess a basic understanding and experience of molecular biology techniques e.g. PCR, CRISPR, cloning
Ability to troubleshoot within own capabilities and communicate difficulties
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write text that can be published, present data at conferences, and represent the research group at meetings

What we offer:

Your wellbeing at work matters, so we offer a range of family friendly and financial benefits including:

An excellent contributory pension scheme
38 days annual leave
A comprehensive range of childcare services
Family leave schemes
Cycle and electric car loan schemes
Employee Assistance Programme
Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs
Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

How to apply:

Please provide a supporting statement outlining how you meet the selection criteria along with your CV, and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Tuesday 15th September 2026.

Interviews are likely to take place during the week commencing 21st September 2026, and will be held on Microsoft Teams in the first instance.

Applications are particularly welcome from women, black and minority ethnic candidates who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
