    Advantageous skills include

    experience in molecular cloning and assembly, mass spectrometry and cell free systems.
    previous experience working in industry or bio-foundries
    automated, parallel and high-throughput synthesis

    There will also be opportunities to develop and harness these skills in the NPL.
    For research examples please see:
    Hoose, A, et al. Nat Rev Chem ; Briones, A. et al iScience ; Kepiro, I. et al. ACS Nano ; De Santis, E. et al, Nat Commun .
    For industry case studies please see:

    This role is being advertised across multiple salary zones. Offer and salary will be dependent on experience.
    Please note that applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as practical.
