RESEARCH ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE, Reference 154450
We have an opportunity for a Research Assistant/Associate to join the School of Infection and Immunity University of Glasgow - Schools - School of Infection & Immunity, MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) (http://www.cvr.ac.uk/) and will make a leading contribution to UKRI-funded projects.
You will be embedded (working remotely or on site) with Dr Chris Illingworth’s team and will interact with other researchers in the CVR.
The postholder will work to create mathematical and statistical approaches to better understand virus infection, evolution, and transmission.
The CVR provides a highly interdisciplinary environment, integrating computational, experimental and clinical research. Building strong links with researchers in other disciplines is a critical part of the role. Some current topics of research in the group are:
1. Modelling viral spread across cells, organisms and populations
2. Combining genomic and epidemiological data to understand viral transmission
3. Building mathematical approaches to enhance preparedness for outbreaks and epidemics
Funding for this full-time post is available until 31 March 2028.
The appointment will be made on the Research and Teaching Grade, level 6 or 7 depending on experience (Grade 6 £32,332 - £36,024 / Grade 7 £39,347 - £44,263 per annum).
Interested applicants should apply online at https://www.gla.ac.uk/explore/jobs/ and search for the above reference number.

RESEARCH ASSISTANT, Reference 154729
We have an opportunity for a Research Assistant to join Dr Stephen Carter’s research group. This post is in partnership with Prof. Jim Norman and Martin Bushell at the Cancer Research UK-Scotland Institute in Glasgow, one of the world's leading cancer research centres. It supports cutting-edge discovery research into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development.
This ambitious project is funded for 5 years by an MRC Programme Grant and is focussed on investigating how regulation of the mRNA translation machinery influences initiation of hepatocellular carcinoma. We are looking to recruit a structural or cellular biologist to lead the ultrastructural arm of the project using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) combined with cryogenic correlated light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM) and cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) milling. This programme will involve state-of-the-art imaging approaches to visualise molecular details of the intricate relationships between the mRNA translation and membrane trafficking machineries. The successful candidate will be trained in how to apply cryo-ET coupled with fluorescence to map key functional proteins and contribute to the study of how regulation of the mRNA translation machinery influences initiation of hepatocellular carcinoma. The ideal candidate will have experience in molecular biology, cryo-EM sample preparation techniques, processing skills of EM images, and self-motivated in designing and executing cryo-ET experiments.
Funding for this full-time post is available until 30 April 2029.
The appointment will be made on the Research and Teaching Grade, level 6 £32,332 - £36,024 per annum.
