Research Assistant/Technician 60%

Your position

The Research Assistant will join the Developmental Genetics Research Group, which investigates the signalling interactions and molecular mechanisms controlling embryonic development. Our research uses genetically engineered mouse models, mouse models of human diseases, and organoid systems to investigate the gene regulatory networks that control normal organ development and the alterations resulting in congenital disorders. We combine these experimental models with state-of-the-art genetic and molecular technologies, genome-wide approaches, and advanced 3D confocal imaging techniques.

Your profile

Applicants must have completed an apprenticeship as molecular biology research technician (Laborant:in) and/or hold a BSc/MSc in molecular biology and excellent skills in molecular biology. Prior expertise in using mouse models and/or transcriptome/analysis (immunofluorescence cells/frozen embryo sections, protein biochemistry etc) will be an asset for the position. Applicants with certification for animal experimentation (LTK1 or FELASA certification) and experience in using mouse models will be given preference. Good knowledge of (spoken) English is important as this is the working language.
