Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute
The CRUK Cambridge Institute (CI), a department of the University of Cambridge, is one of Europe's top cancer research institutes. We are situated on the Addenbrooke's Biomedical Campus and are part of both the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, and the CRUK Cambridge Centre. The Institute is home to 18 research groups which cover a spectrum of research from basic experimental and computational cancer biology through translational cancer research to clinical application. The Institute's scientific Core Facilities work in partnership with the Institute's Research Groups and are a repository for deep technological expertise and knowledge, playing a fundamental role at the heart of the Institute's research community.
The Cambridge Institute Genomics Core (CIGC) provides Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) services for CRUK CI as well as the wider University and collaborative laboratories across The Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The CIGC supports translational research by providing variety of bulk DNA/RNA library preps (from multiple suppliers), sequencing service (MiSeq, NextSeq2000, NovaSeqX Plus, ONT PromethION24) and single cell library prep service including but not limited to 10X workflows. We support cell isolation (CellenOne) for downstream single cell genomics applications and currently are expanding spatial single cell platforms offering 10X Visium SD, 10X Visium HD and 10X Xenium.
You'll be joining us at an exciting time as we continue to expand our genomics service encompassing ever larger scale genomics projects, and continue to develop our utilisation and innovation of sequencing technologies, library preparation methods and single cell methods, providing genomic data for CRUK CI and the University of Cambridge. Genomics is our passion and generating exceptionally high-quality data to translate research is our mission. The CIGC has an established promotional pathway leading from the Research Assistant level to a Senior (Library Prep & Sequencing or Single Cell & Spatial) Specialist.
We seek to hire two Research Assistants, one to support bulk DNA/RNA library prep and sequencing operations and the other to assist with single cell and spatial services.
