Postdoctoral Research Associate in Synthetic Biology and Protein-Based Synthetic Cells at the University of Liverpool University of Liverpool in United Kingdom

University of Liverpool is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a BBSRC-funded project in synthetic biology and protein-based synthetic cells.

The project focuses on the bioinspired design of a new generation of protein-only synthetic cells, using protein condensation assays, organelle biology, carboxysomes, and advanced high-resolution imaging. This is an interdisciplinary opportunity for researchers interested in building and visualising cell-sized systems assembled purely from proteins.

The post is based in the research group of Professor Luning Liu at the University of Liverpool, with collaboration opportunities involving international partners, including collaborators in the US.

Applicants should hold a PhD in protein biochemistry, molecular biology, or biotechnology. Experience in organelle biology, carboxysomes, and condensation assays is highlighted as important.

This is a postdoctoral research job, not a scholarship or studentship. The post is funded by BBSRC. No deadline is stated in the post excerpt provided, so applicants should check the vacancy page promptly for the closing date and full application instructions.

Interested candidates should follow the vacancy link, read the job specification, and apply through the University of Liverpool recruitment portal.
