Job Description
Job Title: Research Fellow in Artificial Cell Modification
Job Location: Leeds UK
Job Location Type: Hybrid
Job Contract Type: Fulltime
Job Seniority Level: Entry level
Are you a creative and resourceful researcher looking for your next challenge Do you have a background in protein engineering and modification Would you like to be part of an international multidisciplinary project and spend part of your time on secondment with project partners in Japan
We are looking for an enthusiastic and teamoriented Researcher to join an international collaborative project to engineer artificial cells to act as highly sensitive and robust biosensors for diagnosis of pathogen infections. Your specific role will be to lead on the development and optimisation of methods for artificial cell modification and sensing. In particular you will optimise the production of transmembrane signalling modules that detect pathogen biomarkers in the external environment to then interface with internal biomolecular signalling pathways. You will be proactive and selfmotivated in contributing to the cocreation of innovative artificial cell tools and technologies within the project team to achieve our collective research goals.
You will be expected to work closely with other members of the multidisciplinary team to integrate the different components of the artificial cell design to achieve a functional biosensor. We will then work with clinical research scientists to further optimise their design for use in a clinical laboratory setting. The wider project team includes a second Research Fellow and a PhD student based at the University of Leeds and two further Research Fellows and a PhD student based in Japan.
You will be required to spend at least 6 months across multiple visits working at partner institutes in Japan (RIKEN and JAMSTEC) to enable knowledge transfer and integration of the synthetic parts for construction of artificial cell biosensors. The grant funding includes a budget to cover your living costs while on secondment. You will be expected to participate in engagement activities with wider stakeholders including the general public and clinicians. The role will offer a range of opportunities for professional and career development as well as networking with the wider synthetic cell community through participation in national and international conferences and workshops.
We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
