[Helen Weavers]

Dear all

Specialist Research Technician
Contract: Fixed-term for 2 years (with potential for extension) from Summer/Autumn 2026
Applications open: 15th June 2026 for 2 weeks

We are recruiting a Specialist Research Technician to contribute towards Drosophila projects running in the lab and provide key operational support. The post-holder will be involved in fly genetics, microscopy and molecular cell biology, as well as support training and general lab organisation. 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.

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 open from Monday 15th  June for 2 weeks. After this time, please see the online advert for further details (search SUPP113440 on www.bristol.ac.uk/job<https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPW711/research-associate-in-dynamic-cell-biology>s/find). Informal enquiries to Dr Helen Weavers (Helen.weavers at bristol.ac.uk<mailto:Helen.weavers at bristol.ac.uk>) are very welcome.

Many thanks in advance for helping to share these opportunities.
