[Lfm] Research assistant opportunity at UCL

[Gabriel Aughey]

Dear London fly community,

We have a 1-year position for a research assistant now available at UCL (Queen Square Institute of Neurology). We would be very grateful if you could forward this message to anyone who might be a good fit. No specific prior experience is necessary - we will train the successful candidate. This would be a good opportunity for (e.g.) a recent graduate looking to gain more research experience. Please feel free to get in touch with me and/or James Jepson for informal discussion ahead of applying if desired.
Project/role details:
"We are seeking a Research Assistant to join the Jepson Laboratory at UCL to investigate how the cell cycle protein Rbf regulates circadian rhythms and sleep in the fruit fly Drosophila. Funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), this exciting project will explore mechanisms that may help explain sleep and circadian disturbances associated with human RBL2 mutations.
You will support behavioural genetic experiments to measure circadian rhythms and sleep, maintain and generate Drosophila stocks, perform brain dissections and RNA isolation, and contribute to transcriptomic analyses. You will work closely with Prof. James Jepson and Dr Gabriel Aughey, analyse and present data, and contribute to publications and wider research activities within the laboratory."
