Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Biomedical Science

Reporting to Associate Professor Daniel Anthony, the postholder will carry out
advanced independent research to achieve the objectives of a research project
investigating the NMR-acquired metabolome of individuals with multiple
sclerosis as a sensitive approach to disease staging.

A suitable individual will have a PhD/DPhil in biochemistry or biomedical
science and a good working knowledge of MatLab (or similar) programmes. The
work will involve organising and implementing complex research plans, the
development of methods of research, testing and data collection, analysis and
evaluation, and writing reports containing descriptive, analytical and
evaluative content. The duties will require the exercise of independent
discretion and judgment in carrying out research activities within the
predetermined research scope and methodology.

The postholder provides guidance to less experienced members of the research
group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and
project students.

The post is fixed-term for 12 months, funded by the University Challenge Seed
Fund and Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 20 July 2015.
