Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce the opening of 7 research posts and 3 PhD studentships in our new Centre for Enzyme Innovation (CEI <http://www.port.ac.uk/cei>). The CEI has a focus around the development of biological solutions for plastic recycling and biomass conversion. If you are interested in joining our growing team in a well supported research and innovation environment, please see the adverts below. *Senior Research Fellows* · Surface Analysis (advert <https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/senior-research-fellow-university-of-portsmouth-715349> ) · Molecular Dynamics (advert <https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/senior-research-fellow-enzyme-engineering-molecular-dynamics-university-of-portsmouth-714299> ) *Senior Research Associates* · RNA Synthetic Biology, 2 posts (advert <https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/senior-research-associate-university-of-portsmouth-715353> ) · Bioinformatics (advert <https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/senior-research-associate-bioinformatics-university-of-portsmouth-715351> ) *Specialist Technician* · Microbial culture and sequencing library preparation (advert <https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BXM256/specialist-technician-research>) *Industry Engagement Post* · Innovation Fellow (advert <https://www.nature.com/naturecareers/job/innovation-fellow-university-of-portsmouth-714301> ) *PhD Studentships x3* (link <https://www.port.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/funding-your-research-degree/centre-for-enzyme-innovation-phd-projects> ) · Designing and evolving plastic-degrading enzymes for new function <https://www.port.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/research-degrees/phd/explore-our-projects/designing-and-evolving-plastic-degrading-enzymes-for-new-function> · Exploring the genome architecture of plastic-degrading bacteria <https://www.port.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/research-degrees/phd/explore-our-projects/exploring-the-genome-architecture-of-plastic-degrading-bacteria> · Structural and biophysical characterisation of novel plastic degrading enzymes <https://www.port.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/research-degrees/phd/explore-our-projects/structural-and-biophysical-characterisation-of-novel-plastic-degrading-enzymes> The CEI was recently awarded a £5.8m grant from Research England and '*STEM Research Project of the Year*' by Times Higher Education.
