Full job description

Pay Scale: STANDARD RESEARCH GRADE 6

Salary (£): £36,681 - £41,636 per annum

Location: Department of Biochemistry, South Parks Road, Oxford

Contract type: Fixed Term Contract for up to 1 year

Hours: Full Time (37.5 hours per week)

About the role

We are seeking a talented individual to join the lab of Professor Stephan Uphoff as a Research Assistant on an interdisciplinary project investigating genome dynamics in the human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. The project is a collaboration with the labs of David Grainer (Birmingham) and Edze Westra (Exeter), funded by a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award. Research in this lab addresses the molecular mechanisms of DNA repair and mutagenesis in bacteria, and how these mechanisms are regulated when bacteria encounter different types of stress conditions. This project will build on our developments of microscopy techniques to visualise processes at the single-molecule and single-cell level.

The post holder will have a Master level qualification in Biochemistry (or related discipline) and experience in performing original lab-based research, which can be through their degree or relevant work experience. We are looking for a candidate with hands-on knowledge in molecular biology, bacterial genetics, working with pathogenic bacteria, and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. You will be working together with experienced lab members to support the technical aims of the project.

The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation embedded in a modern laboratory environment for microbiology & molecular biology. We have access to a large range of outstanding facilities at the Department of Biochemistry and the wider University of Oxford.

This full-time fixed-term post is funded by the Wellcome Trust for up to 1 year in the first instance.

The actual starting salary offered will be based on qualifications and relevant skills acquired and will also be determined by the funding available.

About you

You will hold a master’s degree in Biochemistry or a related subject and demonstrate a strong passion for research, with enthusiasm for working as part of a team on an interdisciplinary project to solve fundamental biological questions. You will have expertise in cell culture, molecular biology, and the genetic manipulation of bacteria, alongside experience in single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. You will have experience in performing and optimising complex laboratory and analytical methods and able to effectively manage your own research and administrative activities. Excellent communication skills are essential, including the ability to prepare publishable written material, present research findings at conferences, and represent the research group at meetings. Experience working with pathogenic bacteria would be an advantage.

What We Offer

Your happiness and wellbeing at work matters to us, 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 loan scheme

Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs

Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

The University also runs an enormous amount of social groups and sports clubs for those looking for more than just a great place to work.
