Function Description

Analysis Fellow in Experimental Biology and Biotechnology

This place is a part of the just lately funded UKRI funded Engineering Biology Programme Grant “EBIC: Environmental Biotechnology and Innovation Centre”, a collaboration between 11 universities together with Cranfield, Bangor, Brunel, East Anglia, Edinburgh, Essex, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Newcastle, and Southampton, in addition to greater than two dozen business and educational companions.

You’ll be a part of extremely utilized interdisciplinary challenge on the intersection of artificial biology, environmental engineering, and biotechnology. We goal to discover cutting-edge methods from artificial biology, biotechnology, and engineering science to develop revolutionary options in bioengineering and bioremediation. With a group of consultants from various fields, we’re on a mission to bridge the hole between engineering biology analysis and sensible purposes, guaranteeing that our findings translate into significant actions that make a considerable and measurable distinction on this planet. The challenge has the actual potential to go far past elementary analysis and has the potential to evolve into an actual enterprise within the close to future.

This fast-paced challenge provides you with the chance to develop new abilities by working carefully with our interdisciplinary group and construct their worldwide profile together with through work with our educational and SME collaborators.

This place gives the distinctive alternative to be a part of extremely utilized analysis actions with important environmental and social influence. You should have a possibility to work collectively inside a group of microbiologists, environmental engineers, chemists, experimental biologists and bioinformaticians, to develop novel engineering biology methods for environmental purposes within the water and waste sectors and discover untapped biology of various microorganisms.

Concerning the Function

We’re in search of a passionate and expert environmental scientist with a specialisation in microbial biotechnology, engineering biology, artificial biology, molecular biology, metabolic engineering, (or equal).

As part of EBIC, this position will present analysis and technical assist usually molecular biology and biochemistry actions with a deal with establishing an experimental and analytical pipeline geared toward accelerating artificial biology, microbial chassis, and engineering biology purposes for environmental biotechnologies throughout the water and waste sectors. Your duties will embody actively contributing to the event and scaling up of efficient options by means of developments in organic detection and reporting, engineering enzymes for focused degradation, and enhancing bioengineered biofilms resilience and effectivity utilizing superior genetic instruments.

As a Analysis Fellow, additionally, you will contribute to a variety of actions which outcome within the scale-up, technical switch, validation of bioengineering applied sciences.

About You

It is best to ideally possess a PhD (or be near completion) in biotechnology or a associated scientific self-discipline, though candidates with a grasp’s or bachelor’s diploma in biotechnology or a associated discipline, coupled with important extra expertise, will even be thought of.
