POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POST IN BIOENERGY (PLANT CELL WALL SYNTHESIS)
University of Cambridge
Department of Biochemistry
Cambridge, UK.
Reference number PH04950
Salary: £27,183-£35,469 pa
Limit of Tenure applies*
The Cambridge Bioenergy Initiative is a multidisciplinary collaboration aimed at tackling issues for the exploitation of plants, algae and photosynthetic bacteria as renewable sources of energy. The Initiative is a collaboration between research groups in the Departments of Biochemistry (Dr Paul Dupree, Prof Christopher J Howe), Plant Sciences (Prof Alison G Smith), Engineering (Dr Stuart A Scott), and Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology (Dr John S Dennis). Further information about the Cambridge Bioenergy Initiative can be obtained from www.bioenergy.cam.ac.uk. The Cell Wall Sugars programme of the BBSRC Sustainable Bioenergy Centre (BSBEC) is based in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge – see www.bsbec.bbsrc.ac.uk.
The initiative is undergoing major expansion with the appointment of several postdoctoral scientists, funded partly by UK Research Councils and partly by industry. We are now searching for an additional postdoctoral researcher in plant cell wall synthesis to work in the laboratory of Dr Paul Dupree. Applicants should have a strong background in plant cell wall synthesis or polysaccharide analysis; previous experience in plant cell biology or molecular genetics is desirable.
The successful applicant will combine practical, experimental flair with the ability to quantify and model results. Moreover, she/he will work in close collaboration with the other partners, so a high degree of flexibility and willingness to work in a team and across discipline boundaries is required. The main responsibility of the Research Associate will be to carry out research, supported by dedicated research technicians. In addition, she/he may also be involved in supervising PhD students in related areas, in outreach programmes to foster the public understanding of science, and in aspects of project management, such as the organization of workshops. The project will investigate the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides, using both Arabidopsis as a model and potential bioenergy crops.
The position is for up to 36 months and will be subject to the satisfactory completion of a probationary period of six months.
The post will be available from 1st July 2009.
The application form (PD18) can be downloaded at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/forms/pd18 and should be submitted with CV, publications list, the details of two referees, and a covering letter explaining your interest and suitability for the position(s). Please send applications electronically to jobs@bioc.cam.ac.uk, quoting the post reference number PH04950 in the subject line. Hardcopies cannot be accepted. The closing date is 30 April 2009. Informal enquires can be addressed to Dr Paul Dupree p.dupree@bioc.cam.ac.uk
