Overview

Applications are invited for the post of Research Technician within an internationally recognised research group in a vibrant and stimulating environment at the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN). This post is at the translational medicine interface in motor neuron disease (MND) research also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join an exciting project focussed on pyruvate metabolism and hypoxia in human stem cell models of ALS. We are looking for a practically skilled, well-organised and committed Research Technician who will join the team led by Dr Scott Allen and Dr Ryan West. The person will be supporting a lab based project to differentiate induced neuronal progenitor cell (iNPCs) from ALS patients into iAstrocytes and investigate how the disease affects pyruvate metabolism pathways under normoxia and hypoxia. You will be working under the direction of Dr Allen and a post-doctoral research associate (PDRA) employed on the project. You will have a strong background in molecular and cellular (neuro) biology and should be strongly motivated, self-driven, and able to accept direction and be an excellent team player. Excellent communication, written and interpersonal skills are expected.
