Research Assistant

Project Details

• Location: On-site.
• Work Hours: Monday–Friday, typically 8:00 AM–5:00 PM or 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (40 hours/week).
• Contract Duration: 1-year contract

• Molecular Biology Focus: Role centers around molecular biology and extensive cell culture work.
• Techniques and Tasks:
  • Perform regular cell culture
    , including media changes
    .
  • Preserve cells in liquid nitrogen /
    -80°C freezer and perform cell recovery
    .
  • Execute Western Blot and RT-qPCR (Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction).
• Operate RT-qPCR equipment (preferred).
  • Edward can provide training if necessary, but prior experience is highly desired given the equipment’s expense.
• Primary cell isolation from tissues (preferred).
  • Edward can train if this skill is lacking, but candidates with prior experience will be prioritized.

• Education:
  • Master’s degree preferred (ideal for fresh graduates).
  • Bachelor’s degree acceptable only if the candidate has substantial, verifiable hands-on lab experience.
  • Theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient
    .
• Experience:
  • Must demonstrate genuine, verifiable proficiency in molecular biology techniques (cell culture, Western blot, RT-qPCR).
  • Prior industry background (
    academia vs. private sector
    ) is irrelevant if the technical skill set is proven.
  • Preference for motivated, young professionals eager to learn challenging new concepts.
