The Department of Life Sciences are looking for a Research Assistant to join the laboratory of Professor K. Ravi Acharya to work on a project supported by the BBSRC studying the molecular mechanisms of Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and its homologues. 

This is a full-time, fixed term role, expected to last for 14 months.

The successful applicant will be required to carry out most technical steps of the project including protein expression (using bacterial, yeast, insect and mammalian systems), purification and molecular biological techniques and structural biology aspects employed in Professor Ravi Acharya’s laboratory. 

Additionally, they should be capable of interpreting the results generated and sharing laboratory responsibilities.

The Research Assistant’s work will align closely with the new research that focus on the crucial structure-function studies of ACE addressing new and important biological questions which will have implications (in the longer term) for the design of new generation of selective inhibitors of ACE combining basic and translational research. 

As a member of Research Staff at the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

What we can offer you:

Department: Education & Research

Salary: £30,505 to £36,924

The Centre of Excellence in Water Based Early Warning Systems for Health Protection is working to transform public and environmental health management, establishing the first Urban Living Lab facility; a state-of-the-art digital water sensing platform, training base and ideas hub. The centre combines sensing, mathematical modelling, data analytics and informatics with epidemiology and public engagement tools to provide low-cost and real-time community-wide testing of population health and the environment.

Applications are invited for a Research Associate position to develop methods to survey pathogens in wastewater, and other environmental water sources, using molecular techniques, including genomics. Projects could focus on capturing a broad range of viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens, or more high-resolution approaches on focal taxa. We aim to expand established methods for routine monitoring to include source attribution and the detection of rare or emerging pathogens including polio and mpox, or antimicrobial resistance genes. Techniques can include (but are not limited to) genomic metagenomics, probe capture enrichment and dPCR. A synthesis of these molecular with chemical and sensor data being generated by other members of the centre would be particularly desirable.    

About you

Our ideal candidate will have:

• Experience in working with water samples and experience in bioinformatics.
• a PhD (or equivalent) in pathogen genomics or a related discipline
• excellent communication skills
• potential to publish in high quality journals
• demonstrated awareness of latest developments in this field of research

The successful candidate will work very closely with other Research Associates, academic leads, technical specialists (water, mass spectrometry and data engineer) and PhD students in the Centre to deliver a unique water-based early warning system for (infectious) disease diagnostics.
