The University of Manchester (www.manchester.ac.uk) is one of the largest single-site universities in the UK, with one of the biggest student communities. In total, 25 Nobel Prize winners have worked or studied here and 93% of our research was ranked as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ by the Research Excellence Framework in 2021. Furthermore more than nine out of ten of our recent graduates go straight into employment or continued studies. The Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) comprises two multi-discipline Schools; the School of Engineering and the School of Natural Sciences, each led by a Head of School and Head of School Operations. The School of Engineering is made up of five academic departments and the School of Natural Sciences is made up of five academic departments.

Global supply chains are dominated by linear, carbon positive, economic models; extract, use, dispose, which creates unsustainable systems reliant on finite geological reserves. The engineering of biological systems and processes can provide solutions and contribute to addressing the need for greater sustainability, by facilitating the shift towards circular bio-based economic models. Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering offer methods to develop new biosynthetic routes and hosts for the production of chemicals, biopolymers and fuels. As such we can reduce our reliance on petrol-chemical based feedstocks by providing new sustainable production routes for drop-in polymer precursors and new chemical entities with advanced properties.
We are now seeking to recruit a skilled Technician to join the team with a good understanding and practical experience of advanced synthetic/engineering biology, and microbiology.
