About the role
We are looking for a research assistant to work in our Radionuclide Therapy research team led by Dr Edward O’Neill for a collaborative project with Dr Victoria Dunne (Queen’s University Belfast). You will be based in Radiobiological Research Institute, University of Oxford with the opportunity to travel between Oxford and Belfast to collaborate closely with this joint project funded by the John Black Foundation.
You will be working closely with other members of the Radionuclide Therapy Research team to investigate the radiobiology of alpha- and beta-emitter based radionuclide therapies in prostate cancer. We are particularly interested in evaluating the radiobiological potential combining both radionuclide modalities to support the design of future clinical trials.
About you
It is essential that you hold a degree in a medical/biological subject or equivalent, and have previous research experience, ideally in radiobiology. Experience with cell biology techniques is essential and prior experience with both open-source radiation and external sources of radiation and ex vivo culture is highly desired, and a willingness to handle open-sources of ionisation is essential. Good organisational skills, inter-personal skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team are essential.
