Dear colleagues,

we are seeking to recruit a postdoc to work on mathematical modelling
of protein synthesis within an interdisciplinary team of biologists
and physicists, funded through a BBSRC grant (for more details please
see advert below). The deadline for application is the 27th of July.
We would appreciate very much if you could bring this to the attention
of your team members or other colleagues who might be interested.
Many thanks and best regards,

Mamen Romano and Ian Stansfield

PostDoc position available: mathematical modelling of translation
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a Research Fellow to join
an inter-disciplinary team of physicists and biologists to work on a
project grant of key importance to the understanding of translation
during gene expression. In this project the applicant will use
non-equilibrium statistical physics to develop mathematical models of
the biological gene expression process, to assess how recombinant
protein expression can be optimised. The models to be developed build
on extensive experience of our research group in this area. The
applicant will additionally lead model-based design of synthetic gene
circuits, which this project will employ to auto-regulate recombinant
protein expression in response to detected translational stresses.
These circuits will be used to optimise gene expression potential
across a range of cell types used as expression systems, including E.
coli, baker’s yeast and potentially also CHO cells. The project has
direct implications for next-generation improvements to high-level
protein expression in biotechnology, and will be carried out in
partnership with a biotechnology company.

Funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the
project brings together a research team comprising researchers at the
University of Aberdeen, the University of Maryland at Baltimore, and
Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies Ltd, an international biotechnology
company with research and manufacturing bases in the UK and USA. The
project will involve close collaboration between all partners.
You must hold a PhD in physics or equivalent degree and have
experience in physics and/or applied mathematics, as well as
mathematical modelling of biological processes.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale (£31,656
- £34,576 per annum), with placement according to qualifications and
experience. Consideration will be given to making an appointment at
Research Assistant, Grade 5 level in the first instance (£26,537 -
£29,847 per annum) for individuals in the final stages of completing
their PhD.

This post is funded by the BBSRC and will be available for up to 3
years.  The appointment will be made subject to the usual terms and
conditions of employment of the University.

If you have any questions please contact Mamen Romano
(m.romano at abdn.ac.uk<mailto:m.romano at abdn.ac.uk>).
