We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where staff and students can thrive, contribute their best, and achieve their full potential. We take great pride in holding the Athena Swan Gold Award. We're looking for a highly motivated research technician to join the Department of Biology at the University of York. You will work with Dr Nicola Baker and her group, investigating how Leishmania parasites adapt to environmental changes (pH and temperature) to survive. By joining our team, you will be part of the internationally renowned York Biomedical Research Institute and collaborate within a working environment where every team member is valued. We have a vibrant, multi-team environment, forming the parasites network, dedicated to investigating cellular processes in parasites responsible for major global diseases. This is underpinned by a strong culture of equality that empowers all staff and students to contribute fully, flourish, and excel. Role A full or part-time Research Technician position is available immediately on a fixed-term basis for 24 months (with the duration adjustable for part-time applicants). The minimum hours are 22.20 hours a week (0.6 FTE) up to 37 hours a week (1 FTE). Your primary responsibility will be to provide skilled technical support for investigations into how Leishmania parasites sense and adapt to their environment, specifically focusing on the protein kinase pathways involved in sensing temperature and pH fluctuations. You will work closely within a small team, assisting a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) and the Principal Investigator (PI), whilst also embedded within a larger laboratory environment made up of multiple research groups. Specifically, you will grow Leishmania parasites and utilise CRISPR-Cas9 editing to generate mutants for characterisation via microscopy and Western blotting. You will also manage routine cell culture of experimental cell lines, assist in proteomic and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows, maintain rigorous scientific records, and help train other members of the laboratory. Skills, Experience & Qualification needed A degree, equivalent qualification, or relevant laboratory experience in Biological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, or a closely related discipline. Practical experience working in a biological research laboratory, specifically with routine cell culture and microscopy. Experience with, or a strong understanding of, molecular biology techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 editing and Western blotting. An eagerness to assist with advanced techniques, including proteomic and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows.

At the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT), we're on a mission to translate scientific discovery into real world impact. We bring together visionary scientists, technologists, engineers, researchers, educators and innovators to tackle humanity's greatest challenges in four transformative areas: Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture Climate Change & Managing CO Artificial Intelligence & Robotics This is ambitious work - work that demands curiosity, courage, and a relentless drive to make a difference. At EIT, you'll join a community built on excellence, innovation, tenacity, trust, and collaboration, where bold ideas become real world breakthroughs. Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas from lab to society. Welcome to the Generative Biology Institute Led by Founding Director Jason Chin, the Generative Biology Institute (GBI) at the Ellison Institute of Technology is tackling the key challenges in making biology engineerable, and thereby unlocking the unrivalled power of biology for the benefit of humanity. The vision of the GBI is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write - determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more. The Generative Biology Institute commenced operations in 2025, occupying newly renovated bespoke space in the Oxford Science Park. The team will later move to a purpose made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state of the art facility will include more than 40,000 m of research laboratory and office space. It will house over 30 groups and up to 600 employees at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT's Humane Endeavours. GBI Translational Platform We are seeking skilled Translational Scientists to help translate foundational work from GBI into real world applications within the GBI Translational Platform. Our platform aims to leverage an orthogonal replication system for the accelerated evolution of commercially relevant proteins. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and play a meaningful role in shaping both our science and culture. In this role, you will design, execute and troubleshoot wet lab experiments, and develop robust, reproducible, and scalable experimental workflows. You will contribute both practically and intellectually to the research direction of our Translational Platform. You will also mentor and support laboratory technicians, helping to foster continuous knowledge sharing across the lab. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. In your cover letter, please clearly explain your fit, interest, and relevant experience for joining the GBI Translational Platform. All applications must be submitted exclusively through the EIT job portal. If you would like to discuss this role in more detail prior to submitting an application, please contact Cyril Schroeder at . Ideal candidates are hands on, proactive, and excited about translating basic science into commercial applications. Key Requirements MSc or PhD in molecular biology, synthetic biology, biotechnology, microbiology, or a related field Strong wet lab experience, particularly in molecular cloning and bacterial genome editing Be highly organized, structured, and self motivated Be a collaborative team player with strong interpersonal skills What we offer Cutting edge science and competitive salaries. Brand new laboratories with state of the art equipment. The opportunity to grow quickly within an inclusive and collaborative environment. Our Benefits Salary: Competitive + travel allowance + bonus Enhanced holiday pay Pension Life Assurance Income Protection Private Medical Insurance Hospital Cash Plan Therapy Services Perk Box Electric Car Scheme Working Together - What It Involves You must be eligible to work in the UK with a willingness to travel as necessary. We are open to sponsoring employment visas for this role; however sponsorship is not available for all visa types or in all circumstances. Eligibility will be assessed on a case by case basis. You must be based in or within easy commuting distance of Oxford. Or be willing to relocate. During peak periods, some longer hours may be required.
