Faculty of Medicine and Health

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in cell culture and reproductive biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

The University of Leeds is one of the top 80 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Research Assistant to work on our Wellcome Trust funded grant to understand the how heat stress associated with climate change can affect off-spring health. Climate change is one of the most pressing concerns we have. Understanding the biological basis of how this affects health of the offspring born to mothers that experience extremes of heat and figuring how we can mitigate against these are critical to ensure healthy babies. We are using an interdisciplinary approach combining novel in vitro 3D approaches to mimic maternal and embryo interactions as well as comparative approaches to determine how acute heat stress alters life-course health in offspring. The candidate will be training in state of the start 3D in vitro models as well as Omics approaches including single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing.

If you are looking for a role that will be at the cutting edge of reproductive biosciences in a supportive, dynamic and inclusive research group, apply today.

You will work collaboratively with your colleague FW Workers and wider team. A major aspect of your role will be to facilitate group-learning and activity sessions. These sessions will cover a range of topics, which align with the projects workstreams.

As part of the role, you will receive internal and external training to enable you to deliver the group care programme effectively and with confidence.

You will also work closely with the research team at the University of Leeds to: (1) refine content and design of the group sessions, contributing your insights and expertise; (2) recruit and engage families to participate in the group care sessions; (3) collect data (using easy-to-administer tools designed by the team) to help evaluate the programme; and (4) contribute to the development of training materials to expand the project’s reach beyond Leeds.

This role will be based on the university campus and will involve working in various community-based sites across Leeds. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
