We have vacancies now open for PhDs in the team. Using biomaterials, to probe important health-related challenges. All vacancies listed here.

We have a vacancy for an ambitious PDRA to work on our new cell cryopreservation technology. This role is to undertaken world-class cell biology to understand how our macromolecular (polymer) antifreeze protein mimics enable cells to survive cryopreservation, with the long term aim of reducing, or removing, the need for organic sovlents in cryopreservation. A particular aim of this project is to enable the cryopreservatino of donor stem cells, so the candidate will have experience of using primary human tissue, and all necessary analytics (microscopy, flow cytometry). We work as a team, spread over 4 laboratories in the Medical School and the Department of Chemistry, so a strong team-ethic is essential.

We have a vacancy for an administrative coordinator to join us. The role will be to help with the administration of the large and diverse group, split between the Chemistry Department and The Medical School and to provide clerical support to Professor Gibson.

We have a vacancy for an ambitious and talented post-doc to joint our interdisciplinary team. The project will focus on using recombinant (bacterial expression) methods to generate protein-based biomaterials as new mimics of antifreeze proteins. The global aim of this work is to improve methods for the cryopreservation of donor cells and tissue for regenerative medicine.
