If you're passionate about advanced nanoparticle analysis and want to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team, this may be the role for you.
The Holme Group is a new and dynamic interdisciplinary team exploring innovative approaches to lipid-based drug delivery. We are currently looking for a highly motivated Project Assistant with expertise in single particle characterisation of the Raman spectra of lipid-based nanoparticles. In this role, you will apply your skillset to carry out characterisation on a range of lipid systems currently being studied by PhD students and post docs.
Information about the division/the project
We are seven research groups at the Division of Chemical Biology, within the Department of Life Sciences, who collaborate to combine knowledge in biology, chemistry and physics for the study of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids and their interactions with cells. Within the Holme group, we specialise in nano-particles formulated from lipids.
We characterise the composition and distribution of lipid molecules in synthetic and naturally occurring nano-particles (including extracellular vesicles), and analyse their structure from the ensemble to single molecule level. Using these insights, we design new lipid nanoparticles to support the study, diagnosis, and treatment of 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 nano-particles.
Job description
This is a full time research position for six months.
As a Project Assistant, you will carry out single particle automated Raman trapping analysis on a variety of lipid nanoparticle structures being studied within the group.
Tasks will also include:
• Preparing, measuring and analysing Raman data collected on single particles
• Performing complementary analysis techniques such as dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analysis
• Write reports and maintain a lab book
• Perpare data for publication
Contract terms
Temporary employment of 6 months
Qualifications
We believe that the successful candidate fulfils the following:
• BSc in physical or natural sciences
• Expertise in formulating lipid vesicles and in single particle Raman automated tracking analysis techniques
• Ability to work independently
• Good written and oral communication skills in English
