Professional Internships for PhD students (PIPS) provide students with immersive experience in a field they are inexperienced in.  These experiences provide awareness of the wider applications of research and diversify their own portfolio. MetalloBio are offering select positions for BBSRC PhD students to come and gain experience working alongside our team at the forefront of our research, where the science meets the market. As an antimicrobial development company working on two series of completely novel types of antibacterial compounds, these positions may provide suitable candidates with exciting alternative work.

‍

There are two positions available for application: both involve conducting primary research into the existing product market to understand the relevant design criteria and establish a point of market comparison. The first project then requires the use of industry relevant techniques to gather data which will be used to directly influence the product design criteria for MetalloBio’s antimicrobial coatings. The second project is aimed at using the gathered data to recognise and understand the needs of the market, to inform the product development. Both projects require the ability to conduct methodical research, experience conducting literature reviews, communication and presentation skills and the ability to disseminate complex scientific research to a non-scientific audience.
