Research Technician

at  The University of Manchester

We are recruiting a research technician to our group within the Centre for Biological Timing at the University of Manchester. We explore how energy metabolism is regulated by the circadian clock in health and disease; specifically, we use in vivo and in vitro models to study how the clock controls the properties of fat cells (adipocytes) under the challenge of obesity.
The post holder will support a range of in vivo and in vitro research activities, and we are looking for an experienced scientist who can design and perform experiments independently, and make a substantial contribution to data analysis and presentation.
As the post holder will also contribute to general laboratory management, we are seeking a candidate who is highly organised, and has knowledge of relevant health and safety practices.
This post is advertised as full time. However, we are open to candidates who prefer less-than-full-time working, and we would consider offering the post at
0.8 FTE for a potential longer contract duration.
