Research Associate in Engineering Biology for Magnetic Control
Grade Salary Range: £39,347 - £46,974 Per Annum.
School of Engineering / College of Science & Engineering / Institute of Bioengineering
Fixed Term Contract - Temporary.
Full Time - 35 Hours Per Week.
We are looking for an experienced researcher to contribute to our project that seeks to develop magnetic traction technologies to assist and accelerate the process of neuronal regeneration after injury, or disease.
The Opportunity:
Until very recently nerve damage was considered to be untreatable. The realisation this is not the case has generated much excitement. This timely opportunity seeks to develop strategies to boost the ability of neurones to straddle regions of damage by exerting traction forces on growing axons. Success promises huge impact from basic science to clinical therapies. The position benefits from the rich medical research environment of the University of Edinburgh, and particularly the community within the Centre for Engineering Biology. World-class support infrastructure including the Edinburgh Genome Foundry, super-resolution/electron microscopy and -omics services will complement the well-found laboratories of the Institute for Bioengineering.
Your skills and attributes for success:
- A PhD in Engineering Biology / Synthetic Biology with a strong dissemination track record (Desirable).
- Expertise in genetic manipulation of mammalian cell lines, preferably to include neurones.
- Experience of the design and construction of mammalian expression vectors.
- Familiarity with live cell microscopy and other advanced microscopy approaches.
- A go-getting attitude tempered by a deep appreciation for academic rigour.
