The role holder will join a new and dynamic team of virologist studying retroviral persistence (e.g., HIV-1) and therapeutic strategies to eliminate it.
The role consists of fully supporting research laboratory activities, ensuring that the laboratories are prepared for experimentation and are compliant with relevant Health and Safety and other legislative or policy requirements. The role holder will also carry out specialised techniques and train others in these and essential core functions.
The main laboratory activities will be the preparation and maintenance of cellular, plasmid, lentiviral constructs and viral stocks, isolation of nucleic acid and proteins, and performance of standardised colorimetric assays (e.g., MTT and ELISA). The work will be conducted at CL-2 and CL-3 containment level, after appropriate training, and it will require handling of infectious (retroviruses) cell cultures. The technical assistant will also oversee laboratory record keeping through the centralised electronic repository of the lab and liaise with the PI for laboratory purchases.
Essential qualifications include hands-on experience in laboratory techniques like cell culture and aseptic conditions, proficiency in laboratory calculations, good IT skills and experience in using standard software, excellent organisational abilities, and a commitment to accuracy and efficiency. Desirable qualifications include previous experience working at CL-3 containment level and expertise in handling lentiviral constructs or retroviruses.
For informal enquiries please contact Dr Iart Luca Shytaj via email: [email protected] or tel: +44 (0)117 455 6134.
Interviews will be held on Monday 22nd April 2024.
We recently launched our strategy to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.
The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want to attract, develop, and retain individuals with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives – particularly people of colour, LGBT+ and disabled people - because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our excellence as a global civic institution.
