This multi-disciplinary project offers an exciting opportunity for the appointee to work in collaboration with a global leader in fermentation to identify microbes that are antagonistic to problem organisms in food and agriculture.
The appointee will develop and use innovative approaches to identify and characterise the chemical and physical interactions between cells that result in inhibition of detrimental fungi. This bioprospecting project will utilise yeasts collected from around the globe and offers the opportunity to better characterise these novel isolates whilst seeking a practical solution to an economically important spoilage problem.
The post holder would join the lab of Prof Vladimir Jiranek (Prof V Jiranek | Uni Soton), and have the opportunity to interact with several PhD students working on related topics in the context of a diverse and dynamic School of Biological Sciences (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/about/faculties-schools-departments/school-of-biological-sciences). The project will involve close collaboration with an international yeast biotechnology company with outstanding research facilities, thereby offering a vital industrial perspective on the work and the potential for future joint funding or employment opportunities.
Based in the Life Sciences Building at the University’s Highfield Campus, the post is ERE level 4, full time and available for 3 months.
Southampton, and nearby Winchester, are great cities to live in and are <1.5 hr train journey from London and near international airports linking you to the world.
Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent professional qualification and experience in microbiology, biotechnology or a related field.
Applications will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.
