Research Associate

University of Glasgow – Water and Environment Research Group

Three-year postdoctoral position in sustainable biological water treatment solutions.

We have an exciting opportunity to work within the Water and Environment Research Group at the University of Glasgow and lead research on the fate of Synthetic Microorganisms of relevance to water treatment within mixed microbial communities.

As part of the BBSRC Synthetic Biology Mission Hub – Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre, you’ll design and run bench-scale reactors experiments to track SynBio strain fitness and survival using molecular approaches including, qPCR/ddPCR, and omics-approaches and  further analyse complex ecological–engineering data. The EBIC consortium will supply the synthetic organisms, and you’ll integrate with collaborators across academia and industry. We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic researcher with a PhD and interests and expertise in environmental microbiology or similar. Applications open now until the 5th August.
