Laboratory Technician
Division of Biology, Silwood Park Campus, Imperial College London
Salary £23,450 - £26,020 per annum
All appointments will normally be made at the bottom of the salary range
We are seeking to recruit a Laboratory Technician which will be funded
as part of an ERC Advanced Investigator grant of ¤2.1M awarded to Prof
Tim Coulson. This position is available for five years, starting from
1 June 2010.
Working as part of a highly experienced team at the cutting edge
of evolutionary research, you will provide technical support for a
research project on how evolutionary and ecological processes influence
the dynamics of heritable phenotypic traits and vice versa. You will
assist in that part of the research project where we study the behaviour,
composition and dynamics of bulb mite (Rhizoglyphus robini) populations
in the laboratory. The work will mainly be laboratory based, although
field work is planned for the future. This is an exceptional opportunity
to participate in a major research project, for which extensive pilot
data is already available, and for which funding has been secured for
the duration of the project.
The successful candidate must have 2 A-Levels in relevant subjects, or
equivalent vocational qualifications, plus work experience, preferably in
a relevant technical/scientific role, enthusiasm for biological research,
and sound laboratory and fieldwork skills.
You will be part of a thriving research group
