Postdoctoral Position for Cell Differentiation During Biofilm Formation
Postdoctoral Position for Cell Differentiation During Biofilm Formation, University of Dundee, UK
Division of Molecular Microbiology
College of Life Sciences
The bacterium Bacillus subtilis is a single celled Gram-positive soil bacterium that can exist as part of an integrated, multicellular community called a biofilm. Biofilm formation is a complex process that depends on cell fate differentiation that occurs in spatio-temporal manner. Biofilms are important in all sectors of our economy with examples ranging from human health – they form the basis of chronic infections, to bioremediation – they are required for the effective treatment of sewage. B. subtilis has advanced genetic and molecular biology tools ideal for studying the complex development of biofilm communities.
The appointed postdoctoral scientist will be part of an interdisciplinary team and will be required to combine classical genetic techniques with state of the art imaging analysis, at the systems biology level, to help elucidate how biofilm formation is controlled.
Candidates should have, or be about to obtain, a PhD. This preferably would include microscopy and microbiology techniques. The post is available for up to 36 months in the first instance and is available from the 1st November 2009.
Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Nicola Stanley-Wall, n.r.stanleywall-at-dundee.ac.uk or Prof. Jason Swedlow jason-at-lifesci.dundee.ac.uk
Applications in the form of a CV and covering letter, including the names and addresses of 3 referees, should be sent to HR-LifeSciences@dundee.ac.uk quoting LS/2885/WW. Alternatively, please send 2 hard copies of your CV and covering letter to Human Resources, College of Life Sciences, MSI/WTB/JBC Complex, University of Dundee, DD1 5EH.
Applicants will only be contacted if invited for interview.
Closing date: 31 August 2009
The University of Dundee is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
