Research Scientist in Synthetic Biology and Cultivated Meat
3 weeks ago
The Imperial College London is seeking a highly skilled Research Associate to contribute to a project on the application of synthetic biology to cultivated meat production. This project presents a unique opportunity to advance global environmental sustainability by developing innovative methods for engineering mammalian cells adopted to produce cultivated meat.
Synthetic biology has made it possible to repurpose cells to operate as microscale factories, energy sources, and even computers. We are at the stage where novel solutions and wider approaches are needed to enable impact in real life applications. Engineering of alternative meat products currently suffers from high cost of cell culturing. Genetic engineering of target cell lines is desired to enable improvement of cell growth and expansion, nutritional qualities and texture. In this project, we will develop novel synthetic biology tools and technologies to advance the genetic engineering of cell lines adopted for cultivated meat production.
Key Responsibilities:- Design and conduct experiments to engineer mammalian cell lines
- Design and develop genetic constructs via cutting edge molecular cloning protocols
- Perform transfections and cell characterisation
- Oversee timelines, resources, and deliverables, ensuring that project milestones are met
- Prepare research reports, contribute to scientific publications and to the day-to-day activities of the lab
- Supervise students and engage with the community within the Bezos Centre for Sustainable proteins, the Centre for Synthetic Biology and the Department of Chemical engineering
- PhD in Biology, Synthetic biology, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering or related disciplines
- Practical experience in mammalian cell engineering methodologies
- Ability to think critically and independently and to lead your own work programme
- Ability to direct the work of supervised students
The post is available for 24 months. Starting salary is determined on experience.
