The BBSRC has funded a 36 month project to develop new live, attenuated, vaccines against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) as part of its Farmed Animal Disease and Health (FADH) joint initiative with the Department of Biotechnology, India. Applications are invited for the post of post-doctoral research fellow to lead a research program using synthetic biology to genetically modify the genome of FMDV with the focussed goal of producing novel vaccines: live, attenuated, virus (vaccine) strains of importance to the Indian agricultural sector. You will be based at St Andrews, but will be expected to spend periods of study at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bangalore and to supervise the research of Indian scholars visiting St Andrews. Whilst a PhD and experience with a range of molecular biological techniques are absolute requirements, preference will be given to applicants with expertise in tissue-culture, cell transfection, analyses of expressed products, bioinformatic analyses and microscopy (image analyses / quantification).
