Research Assistant - Teichmann Lab (Fixed Term)
We are excited to announce an opportunity for a Research Assistant position in Prof. Sarah Teichmann's group at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute.
Our lab is at the forefront of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) project, a global initiative that unites thousands of scientists to create a comprehensive reference map of all human cell types and properties. This endeavor aims to deepen our understanding of the fundamental units of life and serve as a foundation for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating various health conditions and diseases. We employ state-of-the-art single-cell genomic technologies to characterize the cellular compositions and states of human tissues in both health and disease.
The Human Cell Atlas is providing unprecedented insights into the identity and function of cells, revealing cellular states with unparalleled resolution and depth. These discoveries not only advance our understanding of human biology but also guide the in vitro engineering of human cells towards specific cellular states.
We are seeking a motivated candidate to carry out tissue culture work in organoid derivation and maintenance. The successful candidate will also collaborate with other team members on various benchside tasks, including primary tissue dissociation and the construction of single-cell sequencing libraries. This position is available for an 18-month term.
An undergraduate degree in biology or related field is required.
Start date: as soon as possible
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 18 months in the first instance.
