In addition, an opening for a Technician position working on the SPINS project will be advertised in the coming weeks.
The SPINS project is a collaboration between the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield. The aim of the project is to enable rapid microbial production of novel, bespoke spider silks with predictable spinning properties, expanding the scope of viable applications of these versatile materials.
Informal enquiries should be made to Professor Rainer Breitling (Rainer.Breitling@manchester.ac.uk) for the computational position and Eriko Takano (Eriko.Takano@manchester.ac.uk) for the synthetic biology and the technician positions.
