Description
Applications are invited for a one year Postdoctoral Researcher todevelop Transcription Factor Decoys (TFDs) as potentially novel agentsto combat infectious disease. TFDs are small stretches of DNA thatcontrol expression of bacterial genes by sequestering transcriptionfactors that could otherwise turn on disease-causing genes. This projectwill design and test TFDs for their ability to restore susceptibility toextant antibiotics, restore the latter’s efficacy, and inhibit bacterialgrowth by inactivating essential genes. This project will be carried outcollaboratively with Procarta Biosystems Ltd (www.procartabio.com),which is developing TFDs for clinical application. Further details ofthis project can be obtained from Professor Mervyn Bibb (mervyn.bibb@bbsrc.ac.uk).
Candidates should have, or expect shortly to receive, a PhD in molecularbiology. Experience in microbiology would be preferred. Goodcommunication and organisational skills with the ability to design, planand interpret experiments in an independent and innovative manner are essential.
Salary on appointment will be within the range £24,200 to £27,200 perannum (pay award pending) depending on qualifications and experience.
