The McCarthy Lab has an exciting opportunity for a prospective Researcher who is interested in synthetic biology approaches to engineer biofilms to better tackle environmental challenges_._

This position is part of the recently funded UKRI funded Engineering Biology Programme Grant “EBIC: Environmental Biotechnology and Innovation Centre”, a collaboration between 10 universities including Cranfield, Bangor, Brunel, East Anglia, Edinburgh, Essex, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Newcastle, and Southampton, as well as more than two dozen industry and academic partners.

You will be joining a highly interdisciplinary project, where we will blend synthetic biology, environmental engineering, and biotechnology to develop disruptive solutions to major environmental challenges. There will be a particular focus on developing approaches to harness bacterial community behaviours such as a biofilm formation to better tackle environmental pollutants such as waste plastics. Our aim is to leverage cutting-edge advancements in synthetic biology and biofilm engineering to develop innovative strategies for bioremediation, with a key focus on scalable solutions that can be readily adopted by the waste and water sectors.

Applicants must have a PhD or MSc in a relevant discipline. Experience and knowledge in the field of biofilm formation and microbial plastic degradation is essential. Experience with advanced cloning systems, CRISPR tools, and the use of synthetic microbial communities for bioengineering technologies is highly desirable. They should be able to work both independently and collaboratively. This position is available for 42 months. Please include one paper or preprint that illustrates research skills that are relevant to this project.
