Full Job Description

The Higgins group is seeking a research assistant to join a research project funded by the Gates Foundation, in which we aim to produce and test malaria vaccine immunogens designed through rational structure-guided approaches.

The post-holder will join an active research consortium and will work closely with other team members, taking responsibility for the pre-clinical testing of designed immunogens. They will produce protein, purify antibodies, conduct ELISA assays and assess growth inhibitory activity of antibodies in Plasmodium falciparum culture. They will also support the manager of our derogated category 3 culture room, maintaining stocks and helping with safety training for room users. This provides an exciting opportunity to engage in malaria vaccine development, while developing skills in both research and facility management.

This full-time fixed-term post is funded by the Gates Foundation for up to 24 months 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. 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.
