Research Associate in synthetic biology and cultivated meat.
2 months ago
About the role:
The Department of Chemical Engineering is seeking a Research Associate to join a project on the application of synthetic biology to cultivated meat production. This project presents a unique opportunity to contribute to global environmental sustainability by developing innovative methods for engineering of mammalian cells adopted to produce cultivated meat, thus directly advancing our impact in sustainable agriculture.
Synthetic biology has made it possible to repurpose cells to operate as microscale factories, energy sources, and even computers. We are at the stage where novel solutions and wider approaches are needed to enable impact in real life applications. Engineering of alternative meat products currently suffers from high cost of cell culturing. Genetic engineering of target cell lines is desired to enable improvement of cell growth and expansion, nutritional qualities and texture. In this project, we will develop novel synthetic biology tools and technologies to advance the genetic engineering of cell lines adopted for cultivated meat production. The project will enable more robust and controlled engineering of such cells, for implementation of desired traits that support sustainable production of alternative foods.
What you would be doing:
The successful applicant will be expected to design and conduct experiments to engineering mammalian cell lines, design and develop genetic constructs via cutting edge molecular cloning protocols, perform transfections and cell characterisation.
Effective project management will be crucial, as the candidate will oversee timelines, resources, and deliverables, ensuring that project milestones are met. Additionally, the applicant will prepare research reports, contribute to scientific publications and to the day-to-day activities of the lab. They will supervise students and engage with the community within the National alternative proteins innovation centre, the Centre for Synthetic Biology and the Department of Chemical engineering. Collaboration with other team members and stakeholders will be essential to integrate findings and advance the project toward practical, market-ready solutions.
What we are looking for:
- A PhD in Biology, Synthetic biology, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering or related disciplines. Practical experience in mammalian cell engineering methodologies
- Ability to think critically and independently and to lead your own work programme
- Ability to direct the work of supervised students
What we can offer you:
The post is available for 30 months. Starting salary is determined on experience.
Informal enquiries about the post can be made to Dr Francesca Ceroni (f.ceroni@imperial.ac.uk)
Further information about the post is available in the job description.
Should you have any queries about the application process please contact chemeng.staffing@imperial.ac.uk.
£45,593 to £53,630 per annum
