Become part of our diverse team, and you'll experience a rare opportunity to impact the lives of more than 26 million customers through brands including Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows. We need people who can make this transformation a reality.

Join our Economic Crime Intelligence Lab in a key Data Science role you'll see how a leading FinTech fights fraud whilst ensuring continuity of the service our customers expect. You're going after the fraudsters, the social engineering con-artists and money mules. In turn this helps to protect customers and wider society from the harm caused by fraud and scams.

Are you an early career researcher looking for a challenge? Do you have a background in virology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

An exciting opportunity is available to join the laboratory of Dr Morgan Herod to study mechanisms of hepatitis E virus (HEV) replication, funded by the Medical Research Council. You will use a range of molecular virology approaches to study proteolytic processing of the HEV polyprotein. We recently made the exciting discovery that the polyprotein of HEV is not processed by a viral protease, thus implicating a host protease as critical in controlling viral replication. This position will build on these results and focus on identifying and characterising the role of host proteases in HEV replication, and define the role for HEV polyprotein domains in the virus lifecycle. The position provides an opportunity to conduct ground-breaking research into virus-host interactions and generate a new paradigm for RNA virus replication. To achieve this, it will exploit recently developed HEV culture and replicon systems, to conduct a functional proteomic analysis.

You will have a background in molecular biology and expertise in the study of viruses. You will join a team of researchers focusing on mechanisms of positive strand RNA virus replication and host-cell interactions. You will be organised and willing to work collaboratively as part of a team.
