About the role

An exciting opportunity is available for a research assistant to join a collaborative project investigating the molecular mechanisms of temperature sensing in ion channels, with a focus on the TRPM8 channel.

The position is part of a Human Frontier Science Program award: “Understanding the molecular basis of animal cold thermosensation”

The project aims to understand how thermosensitive ion channels detect and respond to cold temperatures across species adapted to very different thermal environments. In particular, we investigate how evolutionary changes in ion channel proteins may influence their temperature-dependent behaviour, including comparisons between extinct species such as the woolly mammoth and their closest living relatives, such as the Asian elephant.

The research uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of ion channels, together with analysis and interpretation of simulation data, to investigate how thermosensitive ion channels respond to temperature changes across different species.

The project is a collaboration with leading experimental researchers in structural biology, electrophysiology, and evolutionary biology.

About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated Research Assistant, with an interest in creating international impact in collaborative cortisol biosensing and contributing to the success of an UK-Turkey corSENSE partnership funded by The British Council.

CorSENSE aims at tackling a clear expertise gap and global healthcare need in cortisol biosensing technologies whilst addressing a development need at a partner country, Turkey, by empowering world-class research capabilities and gender-balanced expertise development in cortisol biosensing research and connecting local and international research communities to key stakeholders.

Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid released by the body in response to environmental stressors. When cortisol production is dysregulated (in a chronic, elevated state), individuals are susceptible to metabolic disorders, neuropathology’s, repeated infections and more. By quantifying cortisol levels in the body, relevant stress management techniques and/or medication can be prescribed to restore normal secretion patterns. Similar to glucose monitoring, cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the 24hr day cycle as a result of the body’s circadian rhythm common to virtually all life forms. CorSENSE will boost transference of skills and expertise and build new interdisciplinary research capabilities required for leadership in advanced biosensing strategies (optical, electrochemical and wearables) tuned to rapid and/or continuous monitoring of cortisol. This will be realised by bringing together world-class expertise at the Centre for Bioengineering and Biomedical Technologies (CBio) at Bath in microfluidic assay development and biosensors development with experience in electrochemical and wearable sensors existing at parter Koç University.

corSENSE involves six activities; the post holder is expected to directly contribute to all of those in a way that is sustainable and equitable within the time frame of the project:

• Dissemination Workshop at Turkey and a mini-conference in cortisol biosensing at Bath
• International research e-seminars series
• Mentoring and international exchange of researchers
• Collaborative Research Projects and Joint Competitive Proposals
• Mutual visits and Networking
• Monitoring of Diversity and Engagement

As a member of Research Staff at the University of Bath, you will be encouraged to take up a minimum of 10 days professional development pro rata per year.

About you

• Post-graduate research experience in biosensing research and an interest in cortisol sensing.
• A Master level qualification in any area of science or engineering.
• Good communication skills and time management.
• Good organisational and presentation skills.
• Good team player.
• Pro-active and able to brings tasks to completion.
• The ability to work well in an interdisciplinary environment.
