Bulletin_# 82  MURPHY@UK.AC.AFRC.IPSC  15 Feb 1988  Jobs in Molecular Biology
From: MURPHY@UK.AC.AFRC.IPSC
To: SEQNET@UK.AC.CAM.PHX

Subject: Jobs in Molecular Biology
Date: 15 Feb 1988
=========================

Two  permanent posts are being established in the Institute of Plant Science
Research, Cambridge Laboratory, UK, for DNA sequencers. The successful
appointees will be expected to provide an efficient sequencing service to the
Institute and to assist individual scientists in an advisory capacity to do
their own sequencing. Considerable financial resources will be available to
ensure that advanced techniques and automation of sequencing can be introduced
as they become available. The sequencers would be expected to participate
fully in individual projects and to receive due recognition for their efforts
in any publications resulting from their work.
Although the appointments are to be made initially in Cambridge, the
laboratory is due to move to Norwich in about 1990 to a new building next to
the John Innes Institute. This buiding will contain a room specifically
designed for the DNA sequencing facility.
We are looking for:

1. Higher Scientific Officer
 To manage the sequencing service, including the carrying out of sequencing,
the introduction of new methods, computer analysis of sequencing data and
liason with the scientists for whom the sequencing is being carried out.
 Qualifications: A degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or other relevant
discipline and at least three years postgraduate experience, which must
include experience in DNA sequencing.

2. Scientific Officer
 To carry out sequencing routinely and to maintain equipment in the sequencing
laboratory.
 Qualifications: A degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or other relevant
discipline. Previous experience in DNA sequencing will not be required.

As both posts are permanent and because the service will be of such
importance, we are anxious to ensure that the appointees are well suited to
the work. We would therefore be prepared to hold the positions open for
appropriate candidates if they were unable to take up the appointments
immediately. For further information please contact George Murphy at:

I would be very grateful if this message could be brought to the attention of
suitable candidates.
