No Offer Description

We are looking for a skilled research technician to join the Glycoprotein Therapeutics Laboratory with Biological Sciences at the University of Southampton. This exciting new role requires someone with the skills necessary to manufacture pseudoviruses. The group focuses on three main research areas: Cancer Therapeutics, Antibody Therapeutics, and HIV-1 immunogen design. The ideal candidate will have experience in mammalian cell culture to support the production of non-replicating pseudoviruses. A wide range of backgrounds and experience will be considered, as full training will be provided. This flexible role is offered on a part-time basis (0.4 FTE) and is based within the laboratory at the Highfield Campus of the University of Southampton. The role will not involve working from home, but we can accommodate a variety of working hours across the week, provided good communication is maintained with immediate colleagues. Join the University of Southampton, which has an international reputation for research, teaching, and enterprise activities. In the Glycoprotein Therapeutics Laboratory, we exploit glycan modifications of proteins in the design of vaccine candidates and glycoprotein-based therapeutics. Our particular interest lies in vaccine design against HIV and the development of novel antibody-based cancer therapeutics, focusing on how glycans impact protein and viral function. You will join a well-established group looking for someone who can contribute to its growing success by providing technical assistance in a proactive and collaborative manner. Application Procedure

This post is suitable for biochemists or molecular biologists with experience in protein expression/purification. For additional information or informal enquiries before submitting your application, contact John Butler at
