We are looking for a Research Technician in Temporal Genomics and Metagenomics

This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns.

The Opportunity:

We are seeking an experienced research technician (RT) who will plan and carry out experimental work on museum specimens from various mammals and their associated microbiomes, as well as contribute to the efficient day-to-day running of the ancient DNA lab. The main job purpose is to assist with ongoing research on (meta)genomics of population declines, working with multiple mammalian species from around the world. This will involve extracting DNA from historical samples using ancient DNA techniques in the specialised environment of the ancient DNA lab, constructing next generation sequencing libraries, and performing quality checks. Contribution to sampling in the natural history museums and data analysis is possible. We therefore require a candidate with a graduate or postgraduate degree in a relevant field.

Your skills and attributes for success:

Molecular wet lab experience, in particular with DNA extraction and next generation library preparation
Excellent time management and organisational skills, great attention to detail
Providing training and supervision to both students and other lab members and supporting their experimental work
Experience working with degraded samples or ancient DNA molecular work
