Clinical Sciences / Institute for Regeneration and Repair/ Centre for Inflammation Research 

Full time: 35 hours per week

Fixed Term: available up to 31 August 2026

We are looking for a candidate to plan and execute a programme of chemistry and biochemistry research activity using our novel fluorescent diagnostic platform in biosamples of various inflammatory diseases (e.g., Inflammatory bowel disease and organ transplant rejection) in order to improve precision medicine for patients.

This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week). As this is laboratory-based work, hybrid and remote working are not possible. 

The Opportunity:

The IRR Chemistry Hub is based in a custom-designed chemistry suite for 50 people in the new building of the Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR) complex, which will accommodate over 1,000 staff and students. Embedded adjacent to the Centres for Regenerative Medicine, Inflammation Research, Reproductive Health and others, the IRR Chemistry Hub is perfectly positioned for collaborative non-siloed research with a core of chemistry investigators working closely and collaboratively with academics from a variety of disciplines.

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • BSc (or to be completed during 2024) or equivalent relevant industrial experience in the field of biochemistry, biology, chemistry or related area.
  • Applicants must be willing to work in an interdisciplinary environment and develop new skills.
  • Practical skills in optical characterisation, particularly in vitro plate reader assays. 
  • Evidence of a strong track-record in enzymology research. Proven experience in working with fluorescent compounds and developing biochemical assays.
  • Experience in HPLC or related analytical techniques.
