An exciting opportunity is available for a Research Laboratory Technician to join the group of Prof. Jake Harris at the Department of Plant Sciences. The laboratory is situated on the Downing Site in Cambridge and houses state-of-the-art facilities.

The project is part of a pioneering new effort to generate fully synthetic plant chromosomes, funded by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA, please see here https://www.aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/programmable-plants/synthetic-plants) for more details). The postholder will support and perform various routine and higher-level molecular biology techniques in the lab, including cloning (PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA purification, restriction reactions, ligation reactions, Gibson assembly, bacterial transformation and culture, plasmid purification, and Sanger sequencing), genotyping (collecting material, genomic DNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis), genetic transformations, as well as general plant husbandry and maintenance. The primary model organism is the 'green yeast', Physcomitrium patens, which holds many unique advantages for synthetic biology approaches. There is also scope for development in computational aspects and organisational pipelines. The project is part of an integrated team effort involving academic and biotech laboratories across the UK and Australia.

The successful candidate is not expected to be familiar with all these techniques; however, experience working with Physcomitrium patens or other non-vascular plants is highly beneficial. A willingness to learn and some prior laboratory experience is essential. The postholder will work closely alongside a postdoctoral researcher on the project and within a wider laboratory team setting, so evidence of successful teamwork to achieve well-defined project goals is critically important. The successful candidate will have a degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject, strong organisational and time-management skills, a positive attitude, and good team spirit.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment.

A Research Associate post is available in the Drosophila Connectomics Group directed by Greg Jefferis and Matthias Landgraf in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge.

The applicant will work with very large volume electron-microscopy Drosophila connectomics data as we approach the end of a £6.7M Wellcome international collaborative award with HHMI Janelia Research Campus, the MRC LMB in Cambridge and the University of Oxford. This project has worked towards production of two synaptic-resolution connectomes for an adult male and female Drosophila central nervous system (brain and nerve cord).

The principal focus will be the development of open source tools for the analysis of connectomics data. This will include developing tools to improve the quality of neuron identification and classification and the modelling of neuron and circuit function. Data sources will be neuronal morphologies, connectivity and computationally inferred or manually annotated metadata and published experimental data. A background in neurobiology, anatomy and a very strong quantitative preparation (with extensive experience in bioinformatics/computer science) will be essential. Prior experience with Drosophila connectomics data is desirable but not essential.

The successful candidate will join a team based in Zoology with 10 team members, carrying out data processing and analysis on computer-assisted neuronal reconstruction data. They will interact closely with a similar team in the US as well as experimental groups especially Greg Jefferis (Cambridge). Candidates will need to be highly motivated and develop a good understanding of the nature of the data and the project's scientific aims. This will be critical to setting priorities. Close teamwork and a collaborative spirit will be essential, but team members will be expected to demonstrate scientific independence matching their technical expertise. There will be opportunities to general project management, as well as to participate in public engagement activities.

Fixed-term: The position is full time, for 6 months. Funds for this post are available until 31st December 2025.

Applications are welcome from internal candidates who would like to apply for the role on the basis of a secondment from their current role in the University.

Flexible working requests will be considered.

We particularly welcome applications from women and candidates from a BME background for this vacancy as they are currently under-represented at this level in our University.
