About this position
Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Redox and Phosphatase Biochemistry at the Babraham Institute, London, United Kingdom.
This postdoctoral opportunity sits in an ambitious research programme studying how reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and shape cell signalling. The project explores redox regulation as a fundamental mechanism in signal transduction, with a focus on phosphatase oxidation, recovery, substrate selection, and signalling specificity.
The successful candidate will work across enzymology, redox biology, quantitative biochemistry, proteomics, signalling, and cell biology, with opportunities to develop new methods for studying oxidation-dependent signalling networks. The role is embedded in a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment with expertise in redox signalling, PTPs, immunology, cell biology, and proteomics.
Applicants should hold a PhD, or have their thesis submitted by the start date. Experience in protein biochemistry and molecular biology, including DNA cloning, is required. The post is a limited-term appointment with funding expected for 1 year.
Funding details include a starting salary of £34,500 per annum if the PhD has not yet been awarded, with salary progression based on post-PhD experience.
