Short summary
We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious Senior Laboratory Research Scientist to join the Tissue Regeneration and Clonal Evolution (TRCE) laboratory. We are a multi-disciplinary research group with a mission to understand the factors underlying an organ’s regenerative capacity in order to design novel therapeutics to augment biological function.
This is a shared role between the Tissue Regeneration and Clonal Evolution (TRCE) laboratory, led by Dr Foad Rouhani, and the Human Biology Facility (HBF), led by Dr Jennifer Hay. The major component of the role involves carrying out a substantial research project in the TRCE lab focused on applying cutting edge gene editing technologies (in vitro and in vivo) to explore mechanisms of tissue regeneration. Alongside this, the successful candidate will work with members of the HBF gene editing team to support relevant projects within the Francis Crick Institute.
The role of a Senior Laboratory Research Scientist at the Crick is diverse and rewarding. The role covers a wide range of different functions and allows for continuity of lab operations. The role offers support to one or more scientific projects or programmes.
Key Responsibilities
About us
The Francis Crick Institute is a biomedical discovery institute dedicated to understanding the fundamental biology underlying health and disease. Its work is helping to understand why disease develops and to translate discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases.
An independent organisation, its founding partners are the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, UCL, Imperial College London and King’s College London.
The Crick was formed in 2015, and in 2016 it moved into a new state-of-the-art building in central London which brings together 1500 scientists and support staff working collaboratively across disciplines, making it the biggest biomedical research facility under in one building in Europe.
The Francis Crick Institute will be world-class with a strong national role. Its distinctive vision for excellence includes commitments to collaboration; developing emerging talent and exporting it the rest of the UK; public engagement; and helping turn discoveries into treatments as quickly as possible to improve lives and strengthen the economy.
