About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom.
This is a postdoctoral opportunity in the Borkar lab, focused on the computational arm of a Leverhulme-funded project investigating how cryogenic OrbiSIMS interacts with complex biomolecular structures. The work combines computational chemistry, biophysics, molecular modelling, reactive force field molecular simulations, supervised machine learning, and mass spectrometry.
You will work closely with experimentalists and international collaborators to simulate fragmentation processes and model how surface potential affects secondary ion yields in the OrbiSIMS instrument. The project aims to understand how structure, charge, and instrument parameters shape OrbiSIMS spectra.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in computational chemistry, biophysics, molecular modelling, or a related field, and have relevant simulation, machine learning, and mass spectrometry experience.
Funding and duration: the post is fixed term for 3 years from 1 September 2026. If the PhD is still pending, appointment starts at Grade 6 and moves to Grade 7 once the PhD is confirmed.
Deadline: 24 August 2026.
How to apply: submit an application through the University of Liverpool recruitment portal using the official job link.
