Research Assistant (Crossley Group) (Fixed Term)

We seek an experienced, scientifically curious and collaborative full-time Research Assistant to join the Crossley laboratory ( ) in the internationally renowned Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, located on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, UK. You will work alongside Dr Mawer, our Senior Scientific Associate, to bring several ongoing projects to publication, as well as helping to start new projects. In the Crossley research group, we study RNA-DNA hybrid molecules called R-loops - how they are dysregulated in human disease, drive genome instability and inflammation, and how these molecules and cellular responses to them can be harnessed for cancer detection and treatment. We use biochemical, imaging and genomics approaches to study molecular mechanisms underlying R-loop biology and their clinical applications.
