The University of Nottingham is looking for highly dynamic, motivated, deft, and qualified biology expert for a special research project under the discipline of systems biology. The special research project that the incumbent will be working carries the following objectives:

• To develop and apply transferable systems biology strategies and automated workflows, informing
  metabolic engineering strategies.
• To develop systems biology methods to evaluate the redirection of carbon flux within biochemical
  networks of microbial cell factories to desired products, minimizing by-product formation.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Planning and conducting primary research on the goals of the research project.
• Analyzing data, interpret reports, evaluating texts and bringing new insights to the research area.
• Writing research work for publication and contribute to the dissemination of research outputs at scientific conferences. To assist in the dissemination of research outputs to the general public.
• Identifying opportunities and assist in writing bids for research grant applications.
• Supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students projects, where these fall within the goals of the research project.
  5. Collaborating with other members of the research groups in the School of Chemistry and the Faculty of Engineering and wider Green Chemicals Beacon community and ensure the coordination of work and sharing of data generated.

Required Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Systems Biology, Computational Biology, Computer science, Mathematics, Bioinformatics or other relevant disciplines
• Demonstrable research skills in systems biology, computational biology, and bioinformatics.
• Experience in creating systems biology tools and methodologies.
• Deep experience in the application of genome-scale modeling to metabolic engineering.
