Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry

Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, New Biochemistry Building, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QU Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry to work under the supervision of Professor Justin Benesch and Professor Philipp Kukura for a period of up to two years on the following project: BBSRC sLoLa Single molecule proteomics: Next-generation analysis of proteins in individual cells. The team’s approach leverages three technologies developed by members of the team: nanopore, electrometry and mass photometry. These technologies are already used individually to extract different types of valuable information about biomolecules, including their mass, size, charge. Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry or a relevant subject area, (or be close to completion) prior to taking up their appointment. The research requires experience in single-molecule imaging biophysics and expertise in at least two of the following: nanopore technology, optical microscopy, machine learning, mass spectrometry, complex optical set-up design, surface mobilisation. You will be expected to manage your own academic research as well as administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Discovery, South Parks Road, Oxford and is available as soon as possible.
