Postdoctoral Research Associate

3 weeks ago


University of York, United Kingdom University of York Full time

**Department of Biology**:
Nominal start date is April 2024 but potentially negotiable. This new team comprises several roles, including these two postdoctoral positions but also five graduate RA and technician positions.

**Role**:
The core of the project is to develop and test (i) components, modules and systems for metabolic-engineering in BSF, in relation to lipid composition; (ii) gene-editing methods to provide targeted modifications to the BSF genome. Correspondingly, the main component of the role is insect genetic studies (design and development of new transgenic/gene edited strains, rearing and colony maintenance, phenotypic analysis, experimental design and statistical analysis). Considerable iteration, i.e. trial-and-error, is likely, requiring intensive, efficient working from the outset to achieve the desired goals within the 24-month funded period. Additional responsibilities include molecular biology (design and development of novel plasmids, molecular analysis of transgenic strains), communicating progress and data including assisting with manuscript preparation, and training/supervising other staff/students as required.

**Skills, Experience & Qualification needed**:

- PhD in a relevant biological science, or equivalent
- Knowledge of relevant research techniques/methodologies.
- Good communication skills, ability to write-up research work for publication in high profile journals
- Experience of (i) working with insects and/or (ii) synthetic biology especially metabolic-engineering in eukaryotes, e.g. fatty-acid metabolism. The suite of necessary technical skills will be built across the project team of seven staff; at this postdoc level we are particularly looking for synthetic biology/metabolic-engineering experience, preferably in eukaryotes. However, other project-related technical skills may be acceptable, depending on the complementary skills of other applicants.

**Interview date**: to be confirmed

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.

We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
