Research Assistant (Moubayidin Group)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Assistant to join the Moubayidin Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Cell & Developmental Biology.
About the Moubayidin Group
The group aims to reveal the mechanisms at the cellular, molecular and genetic level that determine the development and shape of the apical end of the female reproductive organ, the gynoecium, which is essential for correct fertilisation and seed production.
The role
The successful applicant will contribute to the smooth running of the lab and to the group’s overarching aim centred on the investigation of the molecular and genetic mechanism(s) controlling symmetry establishment during style development (Carabelli et al., 2021 Nature Communications 12, 4321; Jiang et al., 2024 Nature Plants 10, 283-299).
The post holder will plan and conduct a wide range of lab techniques, including genetics, biochemical and molecular experiments, as well as will lead their own research project using both crops (e.g. brassica oleracea, rice, tomato) and Arabidopsis. The role will also involve training and supervision of students at different levels (B.Sc., M.Sc., PhD, summer placements, etc) and they will contribute with research outputs to the work led by students and post-docs. While assisting less-experienced group members, the post holder will act as a role model and will promote a collaborative working environment. Therefore, it is expected that the post holder will interpret data with a mature degree of independence and be an excellent communicator and team player.
The ideal candidate
The post holder will have a BSc or equivalent in Biological Sciences or related discipline, it is desirable that the post holder possess a PhD in Biochemistry, Plant Biology, or related discipline. Advanced knowledge and proficiency in crops genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology methods are essential, as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
The successful candidate will have experience in protein biochemistry techniques, it is advantageous to have experience in the supervision of students and visiting workers.
