Two Research associate positions (Grade 7) are available in the laboratory of Professor Andres Floto at the Department of Medicine of the University of Cambridge, to work on multidisciplinary collaborative projects that aim to study the mechanisms and routes of antibiotic uptake, efflux, and metabolism across multiple bacterial pathogens.
The successful candidates will be part of a larger multidisciplinary team and will benefit from exciting preliminary findings and novel methods to interrogate and predict drug accumulation and metabolism in multiple bacteria.
Candidates should hold a PhD degree in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, or related areas or be close to the completion of the degree and be enthusiastic about collaborative and interdisciplinary research, adaptable to work in a multicultural environment, highly organised and capable of working under pressure.
Previous lab experience in CRISPR technology and gram-negative organisms is essential for this post. Experience working in a BSL2 environment and mass spectrometry (small molecules or metabolomics) are desirable but not essential.
Candidates will work closely with lab members and collaborators to ensure the quality of the work.
