Senior Laboratory Research Scientist
Short summary
We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious Senior Laboratory Research Scientist to join the Tissue Regeneration and Clonal Evolution (TRCE) laboratory. We are a multi-disciplinary research group with a mission to understand the factors underlying an organ’s regenerative capacity in order to design novel therapeutics to augment biological function.
This is a shared role between the Tissue Regeneration and Clonal Evolution (TRCE) laboratory, led by Dr Foad Rouhani, and the Human Biology Facility (HBF), led by Dr Jennifer Hay. The major component of the role involves carrying out a substantial research project in the TRCE lab focused on applying cutting edge gene editing technologies (in vitro and in vivo) to explore mechanisms of tissue regeneration.Alongside this, the successful candidate will work with members of the HBF gene editing team to support relevant projects within the Francis Crick Institute.
The role of a Senior Laboratory Research Scientist at the Crick is diverse and rewarding. The role covers a wide range of different functions and allows for continuity of lab operations. The role offers support to one or more scientific projects or programmes.
Key Responsibilities- Independently devising and leading gene editing projects within the TRCE research program
- Provision of technical and research expertise, as part of the HBF gene editing team, to assist in projects of other research groups
- Establishing new methodologies in the lab
- Maintaining laboratory organisation and supplies
- Training and supporting lab members in standard operating procedures
- Facilitating collaborations within and outside the Crick
- Provision of technical and research support in human stem cell biology including the tissue culture of pluripotent stem cells and organoids
- Human cell engineering encompassing molecular biology and CRISPR/Cas gene editing
- Management of regulatory protocols and research governance for the lab
