The Post

The researcher position being advertised is for a 32 months Full time Grade 7 Research Fellow post to join an exciting collaborative project between University of Stirling's Institute of Aquaculture, Moredun Research Institute, Bimeda Animal Health and Vertebrate Antibodies Ltd. to develop a mucosal vaccine for Atlantic salmon to protect against the skin parasite, salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis.

The successful applicant will work with Dr. Sean Monaghan (PI) and Prof. James Bron (Co-I) on the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) funded project, "Development of a mucosally-delivered and active salmon louse vaccine for Atlantic salmon aquaculture" to produce an efficacious prototype salmon louse vaccine through reverse vaccinology. A novel aspect of the project is the incorporation of recently developed AI technology for novel antigen discovery. This will allow development of an oral vaccine to be delivered via mucosal antigen-presenting scaffolds.
