From Lucy.Fea at crick.ac.uk Thu Jul 2 11:29:10 2026 From: Lucy.Fea at crick.ac.uk (Lucy Fea) Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 11:29:10 +0000 Subject: [Lfm] Specialist Research Technician, Weavers Group, University of Bristol Message-ID: Please see message below from Helen Weavers: Dear all Specialist Research Technician, Weavers Group, University of Bristol Contract: Fixed-term for 2 years (with potential for extension) from Summer/Autumn 2026 Applications close: 20th July 2026 The Weavers Group are recruiting a Specialist Research Technician to contribute towards Drosophila projects running in the lab and provide key operational support. Our group investigates how dynamic cell biology supports tissue resilience to damage, and its dysregulation in ageing and disease. We are based within a vibrant research community at the University of Bristol's Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The post-holder will be involved in fly genetics, live-imaging and molecular cell biology, as well as support training and general lab organisation. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong technical experience, particularly with Drosophila, to contribute to ongoing research projects while working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment. This post is funded by the Wellcome Trust, with potential to extend beyond the advertised two years. Applications will close on 20th July 2026. Please see the online advert for further details (click here or search for SUPP113440 on www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find). Informal enquiries to Dr Helen Weavers (Helen.weavers at bristol.ac.uk) are welcome. Many thanks in advance for helping to share these opportunities.
