Position Summary

A Research Officer is immediately available. The Research Officer will support research activities investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer biology and RNA regulation. The successful candidate will perform a range of molecular and cellular biology experiments, contribute to experimental design and data analysis, maintain laboratory operations, and work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary research team. The role offers opportunities to contribute to high-impact publications…

and translational research projects.

Key Responsibilities

Design, execute and optimise molecular and cellular biology experiments to address research objectives.
Perform routine and advanced laboratory techniques, including nucleic acid and protein analysis, cell culture, gene expression analysis, and molecular cloning.
Conduct functional studies using genetic and pharmacological approaches to investigate cellular signalling pathways and disease mechanisms.
Analyse experimental data using appropriate statistical and bioinformatics tools, and maintain accurate experimental records.
Prepare figures, summaries and reports for internal meetings, grant applications and scientific publications.
Contribute to manuscript preparation and presentation of research findings at laboratory meetings and scientific conferences.
Maintain laboratory equipment, manage reagent inventory and ensure compliance with institutional safety and biosafety regulations.
Assist in supervising undergraduate students, interns and junior laboratory members where appropriate.
Collaborate effectively with internal and external research partners to support multidisciplinary research projects.
Perform other research-related duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Life Sciences or a related discipline.
Experience in molecular biology, cell biology or cancer biology research is preferred.
Strong organisational skills with attention to detail and accurate record keeping.
Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative research environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Technical Skills

Candidates with experience in one or more of the following techniques are encouraged to apply:

Mammalian cell culture
RNA and DNA extraction
PCR, quantitative RT-PCR and digital PCR
Molecular cloning and plasmid construction
CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing
RNA interference (siRNA/shRNA)
Western blotting and immunoprecipitation
Flow cytometry and cell death assays
Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy
ELISA and protein quantification assays
RNA sequencing and transcriptomic data analysis
Epitranscriptomics (e.g. m⁶A RNA methylation)
Cancer cell signalling and functional assays
Basic bioinformatics and statistical analysis (e.g. R, GraphPad Prism)

Desired Attributes

Demonstrated interest in molecular mechanisms of disease and translational biomedical research.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Willingness to learn new experimental techniques and computational approaches.
Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
High level of scientific integrity and commitment to reproducible research.
