<div> <p></p><div>We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Molecular Biology to work on synthetic genome DNA assembly in the University of Oxford.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>This is an exciting opportunity arising from a major new grant of £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. You will work with Professor Chris O'Callaghan and Dr Nathali Flores-Fernandez on further development and application of our DNA assembly technology to create synthetic organelle genomes. This synthetic biology project aims to move rapidly to translation with real-world testing of synthetic chloroplast genomes in relevant crop plants including potato (<em>Solanum tuberosum</em>) and wheat (<em>Triticum aestivum</em>) with Professors Steve Kelly and Francesco Licausi. Synthetic genomes will incorporate multiple variants that have arisen independently in nature and have potential to improve desirable properties, such as resistance to disease and environmental/ climate stress.

This is a translational project to further develop and apply technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. There may also be some expression and purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There is also scope for some bioinformatic/ computational analysis but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules.
