**The Post**
This ambitious project is at the forefront of solid waste management and improved environmental decision-making by characterising the impact of plastics to human health in Africa.
By quantifying the processes of human pathogen colonisation, dispersal and exposure pathways, the “SPACES Project” will address key environmental challenges and have far-reaching implications for human health and well-being in sub-Saharan African communities.
The appointee for the post “**Postdoctoral researcher in Environmental Microbiology and the Ecology of Plastic Pollution**” will undertake a range manipulative experiments to characterise microbial colonisation of plastics and subsequent survival, and delivery to receptors through freshwater, soil and urban environments. These will be conducted in Stirling in highly controlled conditions in our labs. Experiments will use a range of pathogenic fungi and bacteria to quantify persistence dynamics of biofilm formation of these pathogens on experimentally defined plastics under simulated environmental conditions relevant to sub-Saharan Africa, e.g. UV irradiance, temperature, desiccation.
**Additional Information**:
The University of Stirling offers great benefits such as generous annual leave and membership of the Universities Superannuation Scheme with employer contributions of 16%. Additionally, staff can benefit from a reduced membership rate at the University's excellent Sport Centre facilities and the option of childcare vouchers through a salary sacrifice scheme.
