英国巴斯大学博士后职位招聘–蛋白质生物化学/生物物理学方向

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath, one of the UK’s leading universities. 

This position is fixed-term for nine months.

About the role:

As a part of an interdisciplinary team you will develop a novel approach to detecting viral particle stability. 

The project builds on technology developed in the lab of Prof. Chris Pudney at Bath, for the prediction of biopharmaceutical stability (DOI: 10.1042/BCJ20200580). 

The technology is based on an optical phenomenon, the fluorescence red edge excitation shift. 

The team at Bath have commercialised their advances as part of a software product for supporting decision making during biopharmaceutical development. 

The project, in conjunction with Agilent Technologies seeks to expand the prediction technology to be used as part of a high-throughput platform and for commercially relevant viral preparations including vaccines and AAV therapeutics.

The project will involve the biophysical characterisation of viral particles and developing new methodologies to access their stability. 

The successful candidate will have experience in protein biochemistry/biophysics and an interest in developing new technologies.

You will be a member of the Department of Life Sciences at Bath with access to excellent analytical facilities to support the project. The Department comprises a depth and breadth of researchers with a vibrant research culture and a noted strength in applied bioscience research.
