Dear All,The lab of Prof. Jim Kaufman at the University of Edinburgh is looking for a Research Technician to help us understand how chicken MHC molecules have such profound effects on resistance and susceptibility to economically-important diseases. We will begin by using protein expression systems and biochemical methods to produce reagents for identifying antigen-specific T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells.
The Opportunity:
You will join the research team with many years of experience with MHC molecules and now a unique set of viral peptides that allow us to produce peptide-MHC tetramers for flow cytometric analysis of vaccinated and infected chickens. Such analyses will revolutionise our understanding of important poultry diseases.
Your skills and attributes for success:
· Conceptual understanding of immunology and molecular biology
· Some laboratory experience, if possible with protein expression and purification
· Careful accurate work and good record keeping skills
· Curiosity, enthusiasm and willingness to work hard
· Ability to work independently and as part of a team
