Babraham Institute

Cambridge, United Kingdom

Job Advert

We are looking for a skilled and motivated mouse embryologist to provide high-level experimental support to research projects in the Rayon Lab and across the Epigenetics Programme at the Babraham Institute. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge studies on epigenetic resilience in mammalian development and ageing.

As part of our team, you will play a key role in exploring how protein homeostasis affects the timing and function of developmental programs in embryos. This position provides the opportunity to develop cutting edge technologies (light sheet imaging and genomics), training opportunities, and collaboration with researchers across the Epigenetics Programme and the Babraham Institute.

Key Responsibilities

• Embryo dissection and colony management overview, including study plan design;
• Perform experimental manipulations, including embryo transfer and single-cell dissociation;
• Support and train postdoctoral researchers and students in embryology techniques;
• Conduct experiments involving fluorescent imaging (experience or a strong interest is essential);
• Apply genetic manipulation techniques in mouse embryos.

What We’re Looking For

• Proficiency in mouse embryo transfer;
• Experience in dissection and culture of mouse preimplantation and/or early postimplantation embryos;
• Expertise in embryo manipulations, including zona removal, immunosurgery, and single-cell dissociation;
• Prior experience holding a Home Office personal license and familiarity with mouse colony management;
• Exceptional attention to detail, thoroughness, and excellent organizational skills.
