[ccp4bb] Two Research Technician positions available in Berger team, Max Planck Centre for Minimal Biology, University of Bristol, UK

Dear CCP4bb and CCPEM members,

Do you enjoy molecular biology and protein biochemistry and keen to work in a vibrant, international environment?

Berger group is hiring! Two Research Technician positions are available in the Berger team in the Max Planck Centre for Minimal Biology in Bristol.

The Berger group studies the structure, mechanism and cellular assembly of eukaryotic multiprotein assemblies in transcription regulation and develops enabling technologies for DNA transfer, genome engineering and multigene _expression_ in eukaryotic cells, tissues and organisms.

We are seeking up to two highly-skilled Research Technicians to actively participate in the ambitious research projects in our laboratory in the new Max Planck Centre for Minimal Biology at Bristol University. You will engage in designing and preparing multigene DNA constructs and utilize and further develop our award-winning MultiBac system for protein complex production and gene therapy applications. Outstanding applicants have a strong background in molecular biology and protein biochemistry. Experience in eukaryotic cell culture, baculovirus _expression_ and/or a structural biology background is highly desirable.

Showing a high level of organization and independence, you will maintain the molecular biology and protein purification infrastructure including ordering of consumables and assist in operating the MultiBac platform in the eukaryotic _expression_ facility. Moreover, you will archive and manage plasmid, baculovirus and protein stocks vital to the laboratory.

You will actively embrace the responsibility of managing technology platforms underpinning all research in the Berger lab.
