Can you provide technical support to an exciting research project in reproductive biology and pathology? Do you have extensive experience in protein analysis? Are you looking to broaden your horizons and contribute to projects with a commercial edge?

This is an exciting opportunity in the Women’s Health Research Group for you to support our programme of research identifying markers of good sperm quality and improving natural conception rates for one of our commercial partners (Ostara Biomedical). Additionally, you will contribute to the team’s work into the pathophysiology of reproductive disorders, which focuses on the development of novel strategies for their prevention, early detection and management.

You will have substantial laboratory experience with a BSc degree in a relevant biomedical field (or an equivalent qualification) and a keen interest in biomedical research. Experience of working with animal models and human and / or animal tissue of reproductive origin is essential as well as extensive experience in protein analysis including multiplex immunoassay, immunohistochemistry and ELISA assay development. You will be encouraged to develop your initiative and independence and will be given opportunities for career development.

This post is based within the School of Medicine in the Leeds Institute of Medical Research at St James’s University campus, and located in the Wellcome Trust Brenner Building.
