Lab Technician

Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, South Parks Road, Oxford

We are seeking to appoint a lab technician to join the Mali lab based in the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford. The successful candidate will support lab members in a project focused on understanding the role of dynein axonemal assembly factors (DNAAFs) in the transport and regulation of axonemal dynein motors that drive the motion of cilia.

This job will primarily involve research using various cellular and molecular biology techniques, such as mammalian and insect cell culture, protein purification using an AKTA Pure FPLC system, protein-protein interaction assays, Alpha Fold and ChimeraX protein structure modelling as well as cellular bioimaging.

Additionally, the job will involve technician duties such as ordering and re-stocking reagents, lab database management and assistance in general lab organisation etc. The position would ideally suit someone looking to gain more lab experience before starting a PhD.

This is a fixed-term appointment available for 10 months.

The closing date for applications is 12:00 on Friday 28 August 2026. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.

At the Dunn School we are committed to supporting the professional and career development of our postdocs and research staff. To help them thrive and achieve their ambitions, we have created a comprehensive range of opportunities and initiatives designed to provide an exceptional launchpad for their future careers.
