Current vacancies
Research Technician in Geomicrobiology
(Ref: 1226564)
Closing date for completed applications: Tuesday 31 January
2012
A research technician is
required to work in the laboratory of Dr Joanne Santini as part of an
industrially-funded project with Hellenic Copper Mines Ltd (Cyprus) as
the industrial partner and Dr Karen Hudson-Edwards (Birkbeck,
University of London) as a collaborator. The overall aim is to
understand the role of microbes in the bioleaching of chalcopyrite and
to use this information to improve the process.
The position is
available from 1st March 2012 and is funded for 11 months in the first
instance.
We require
a committed person that has at least an Honours Degree in Microbiology
(or equivalent) with additional research experience. The research of
the technician will cover a number of fields including microbiology and
molecular biology and expertise in these areas is essential. In
particular we are looking for an individual with experience in growth
of fastidious microbes and a range of molecular biology skills.
Theoretical and practical knowledge of environmental microbiology is
essential and an understanding of geochemistry is desirable.

Postdoctoral position in structural
cell biology of host-parasite interactions in malaria
(Ref: 10637) Full-time, 3-year fixed
term post
Closing date for
completed applications: Friday 2 December 2011
The Department of
Biological Sciences is seeking a committed and creative Post-doctoral
Research Assistant to join a collaborative team led by Professor Helen Saibil
at Birkbeck, with Dr Mike
Blackman at NIMR and Dr Roland
Fleck at NIBSC, carrying out research into the molecular and
cellular mechanisms of malarial egress from human red blood cells. This
post, funded by the MRC, involves the application of electron
tomography to study hostparasite interactions. We are applying a
combination of imaging, cell biology and biochemical approaches to
examine the cellular and biochemical mechanisms of parasite egress from
red blood cells during the infection cycle.
