Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join our team at the University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science. The successful candidate will be part of the Oxford Centre for Tissue Engineering and Bioprocessing (OCTEB) and will work on a project funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).

Project Overview

The project aims to develop a novel biocatalyst based on simple cells (SimCells) to transform waste from cultured meat production into essential amino acids and growth factors. This will enable a sustainable production process.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop a bioreactor system for immobilized SimCells to feed on mammalian cell culture waste and produce necessary amino acids and growth factors.
  • Hold a PhD or be near completion in Chemical/Biochemical Engineering or a closely related field, with relevant experience.
  • Have experience in designing bioreactors for mammalian cell culture and sufficient specialist knowledge in cell encapsulation/immobilization.
  • Manage own academic research and associated activities with an excellent publication record commensurate with career stage.
  • Contribute ideas for new research projects and research income generation.
Requirements
