We are now looking for a highly motivated candidate with a Master's degree in Biomedical Science, Bioengineering, Life Sciences, or a related field, and demonstrated expertise in artificial intelligence and data science.
Job description
This is a full-time, three-month research position. The project assistant will apply their biomedical and AI knowledge to conduct a feasibility study developing AI tools to predict properties of lipid formulations for drug delivery applications.
The successful candidate will collaborate with team members conducting wet lab experiments to characterise the structure-function relationships of lipid formulations of interest, as well as with those developing tools to create molecular dynamics starting structures for such formulations.
About the division and the department
We are six research groups at the Division of Chemical Biology, within the Department of Life Sciences collaborating to combine knowledge in biology, chemistry, and physics to study nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids and their interactions with cells.
Within the Holme group, we specialise in nanoparticles formulated from lipids. We characterise the composition and distribution of lipid molecules in both synthetic and naturally occurring nanoparticles (including extracellular vesicles), analyse their structure from the ensemble to single molecule level, and apply our findings to design new lipid nanoparticles to study, diagnose, and treat a range of diseases.
We place particular focus on using neutron and X-ray scattering to characterise the membrane biophysics and morphology of these self-assembled lipid structures. A new direction within the group will focus on in silico experiments to better understand the structure and dynamics of these nanoparticles.
Qualifications
The successful candidate must have:
• A Master of Science degree in Life or Biomedical Sciences or a related field
• Strong competence in Python and Matlab
• The ability to work independently
• Good written and oral communication skills in English
Contract terms
• Type of position: Full-time research position
• Duration: Three months
• Start date: September 1st (immediate availability required)
