London, Greater London, United Kingdom Queen Mary University of London Full time

About the Role

A Postdoctoral Research Assistant position is available at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to work with Dr Nikola Ojkic. The position is funded by a BBSRC project entitled 'Alteration in bacterial cell envelope structure as the mechanism of antibiotic resistance and cell death', with a proposed starting date of 1st September 2024.

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human health, requiring a better understanding of how antibiotics kill bacterial cells on a single-cell level and how antibiotic-resistant bacteria emerge. This project aims to use imaging, image analysis, mathematical modelling, and stochastic molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the physical mechanism of how antibiotic treatments ultimately lead to bacterial cell death.

The post-holder will join a multidisciplinary, diverse, inclusive team with frequent meetings, interactions, and high-quality mentoring. The post-holder will present data and findings at national and international conferences and scientific meetings. The post-holder will have an opportunity to develop their ideas through various collaborations with different research groups.

About You

The ideal cadidate for this poistion will have a PhD in physics/biophysics/mathematics/bioengineering/bioinformatics/computational science or similar field, including significant experience in programming. In particular, past experience in handling large datasets, stochastic simulations, image analysis, and mathematical modelling will be highly desirable. We are also looking for a motivated individual who has the ability to work independently and as part of a team willing to learn new experimental and computational techniques. Candidates should ideally have a track record of publications, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage and prioritise their time effectively. We will provide a supportive, encouraging environment, training where needed, and a clear career development plan.
