The MIB is a fantastic place to start an independent career in multidisciplinary research. We are actively looking for young talented researchers interested in the many facets of modern biotechnology and help them gain prestigious personal fellowships from UKRI, the Wellcome Trust, the Royal Society, and others. Professor Eriko Takano / Fellowship Committee Chair Embracing both fundamental and applied studies, research themes include Chemicals and Materials; Food, Energy and Environment; Medicine and Health. In 2019, the MIB was awarded the prestigious Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for outstanding contribution made to the UK by an academic institution, in recognition for the environmental benefits of its pioneering expertise in industrial biotechnology. We are seeking outstanding researchers to join our vibrant research community, pushing the boundaries of biotechnology research and the interface with discovery bioscience. We are looking for individuals who either hold, or wish to apply for, independent research fellowships, such as UKRI Future Leader Fellowship, EPSRC Open Fellowship, Royal Society University Research Fellowship, or Wellcome Trust Career Development Awards. Fellows will have access to a flexible set of university training courses, provided with expert mentors as well as peer-support from other Fellows. This will optimise the Fellows interdisciplinary skills, in order to enhance their academic career and progress. We welcome expression of interest in all areas of science, technology and engineering that complement and extend current MIB activities, and are particularly looking to enhance our repertoire in: engineering biology environmental and host-associated microbiomes antimicrobial resistance science and technology underpinning sustainability data-driven science, including AI.
