Lincoln, United Kingdom University of Lincoln Full time

**Department of Life Sciences**:
**Location**: Lincoln

**Salary**: From £29,619 pro rata

Please note, this post is fixed term for 2 months, and full time at 1.0 FTE.

**Closing Date**: Sunday 26 March 2023

**Interview Date**: Thursday 20 April 2023

**Reference**: COS964

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the nanobiotechnology research lab as a Research Assistant within the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Lincoln (post available from end-April 2023 for a total of 2 months).

You will be developing and optimising an innovative rapid test for the detection of microbial contamination in food which uses gold nanoparticles for the visualisation of test results by the naked eye, without using laboratories and specialised staff. The technology has the potential to change the way the food industry assesses microbial risk, similar to the successful deployment of point-of-care diagnostic tests in public health during the recent Covid-19 pandemic.

The two-months project aims at obtaining a proof-of-concept of the method and will focus on the detection of _Campylobacter_ contamination in poultry products. The post is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA), within the UK Food Safety Research Network.

You will ideally be experienced in molecular diagnostics and familiar with laboratory research settings. Experience and/or knowledge in nanobiotechnology are also desirable but not essential.

The University of Lincoln is a forward-thinking, ambitious institution and you will be working in the heart of a thriving, beautiful, safe, and friendly city. The Department of Life Sciences provides a stimulating environment for academic research, and is based in high quality, newly developed facilities.

As an institutional Athena SWAN Bronze Award holder we are committed to advancing gender equality in STEM, therefore female applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
