Research Assistant in Plant Biology
Publicerad 2024-11-20
We are seeking
a Research Assistant to join the Jarvis group at the Department of Biology to work on a new BBSRC project entitled “Resolving the structure and function of the plant chloroplast protein import machinery”. This project aims to elucidate how the individual subunits are arranged within TOC machines, and how the translocons assemble with each other. Having such a detailed understanding of the translocons will help to finally resolve the chloroplast protein import mechanism. Moreover, greater understanding of chloroplast development and functions may offer applications in the future development of crops with improved photosynthetic performance, stress resilience, and yields. If appointed, you will independently manage your own research within guidelines provided by senior colleagues, including accurate record keeping, and will contribute to wider project planning. You will determine the most appropriate methodologies to test hypotheses and identify suitable alternatives if technical problems arise. You will possess a bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline and sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline to carry out the project work effectively. You will also have considerable relevant research experience in molecular biology and/or protein biochemistry. Experience of following and adapting protocols and selecting appropriate experimental methodologies is essential.Fler jobb från Talent
