Research Laboratory Technician (Fixed Term)

The Tzelepis lab is recruiting a dedicated lab technician to support our translational work on novel RNA biology of disease.

Our lab focuses on the epitranscriptomic roles of stem cell homeostasis and disease.

Our approaches include functional genetics, normal and cancer stem cell cultures, development and characterisation of novel treatments as well as various mouse models of disease.

The postholder will actively contribute to our research and be responsible for ensuring that the Tzelepis laboratory runs smoothly and safely. The ideal candidate will be a team player with excellent communication skills and support a variety of experimental procedures, animal handling, imaging and data collection as well as preparing results for publications. The post also entails maintaining the infrastructure of the laboratory areas, ordering of equipment and reagents, as well as instructing correct safety procedures.

Our work is highly collaborative and we operate at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the wider scientific ecosystem (Babraham campus, Sanger Institute etc.) with access to state-of-the-art equipment and facility support. Essential requirements are a first degree in a relevant subject or equivalent experience. The ideal candidate will have experience in either stem-cell/cancer biology, mouse models and/or nucleic acid editing.
