Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemical Biology and Synthetic Biology

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemical Biology and Synthetic Biology

Chemistry Research Laboratory, OX1 3TA

The Qing Laboratory at Oxford is recruiting postdoctoral researchers (multiple positions available) to join a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-funded programme focused on developing innovative sensing platforms for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in biological samples. This work forms part of a wider multidisciplinary collaboration, Decoding Olfaction, involving leading academic and industrial partners.

Our research combines chemical biology and biophysics to advance protein nanopore technologies for single-molecule sensing, with the long-term goal of enabling new approaches to personalised and continuous health monitoring.

We are looking for motivated researchers with a PhD (or near completion) in chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field, who are interested in working across disciplines and developing new experimental and analytical approaches. Experience in areas such as supramolecular or covalent chemistry, or single-molecule biophysics, would be advantageous.

The position is available initially for one year, with the possibility of extension. If you are interested in contributing to cutting-edge research in a collaborative and dynamic environment, please get in touch to discuss the opportunity.
