We are seeking to appoint a Laboratory Manager/Senior Scientist in Biochemistry and structural biology of dynein motor assembly, to join the Mali group at the Dunn School of Pathology in Oxford.
We are looking for a lab manager/senior scientist who is passionate about supporting a diverse and energetic team and who cares about the scientists and the rigor of the science that the lab is producing. We are keen to recruit someone who is a team player and who can help push various ongoing biochemical and structural projects in the lab to completion. Demonstrated experience in biochemistry and structural biology, especially cryo-EM sample preparation and analysis are essential. Skills in mammalian cell biology and molecular biology and working in a collaborative international research environment are highly desirable.

The post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, PhD and project students. There is also the possibility to be directly involved in research projects, both in designing and performing experiments.
