Research Associate in Engineering Biology

A postdoctoral position is available under the guidance of Dr Lucia Marucci in the School of Biological Sciences (University of Bristol) and the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, in collaboration with Dr Harrison Steel and Prof Wei Wang (University of Oxford) as part of a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional grant called EEBio, which investigates ways to improve the robustness of engineered biology using feedback control., This is a 3-year position (with possibility of extension) and a start date as soon as possible. It is expected that the PDRA will work closely with other PDRAs across the EEBio programme at the Universities of Bristol and Oxford, as well as Imperial College London.

Applicants should have extensive experience in mammalian and bacterial cell culturing and engineering, and time lapse imaging.

They should have a real passion or emerging interest in how we can engineer biology, and a demonstrated ability to pick up new skills and work well in a diverse, multidisciplinary team. Hands-on experience working with microfluidics would be a plus.
