About this position
Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) in Oxford is recruiting Postdoctoral Research Scientists for its Institute of Materials & Devices for Life Sciences (MDLS). The programme sits at the interface of chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering, with a mission to translate scientific discovery into real-world impact in health and biotechnology.
Research themes include nanopore technologies for small-molecule diagnostics, single-molecule technologies for biopolymer analysis, programmable membrane proteins for nanoscale transport and sensing, precision biomolecule processing, 3D tissue engineering with stem cells, synthetic and hybrid tissue engineering, and device engineering for sensing, sequencing, and advanced tissue construction.
The role is suited to candidates who want to design and conduct experiments, develop and refine emerging technologies, contribute to publications, and support junior researchers in a collaborative, well-resourced environment with advanced instrumentation and fabrication facilities.
Eligibility highlights: a completed PhD in a relevant discipline such as chemical biology, organic chemistry, synthetic biology, computational chemistry or biology, materials science, human cell biology, physiology and pathology, biophysics, device engineering, biomedical engineering, or nanoscience; a strong publication record; and experience in areas such as single-molecule methods, protein engineering, bioorganic chemistry, stem cell/tissue culture, microfluidics, device fabrication, or computational modelling.
Location: Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Applicants must have the right to work permanently in the UK and be willing to travel as needed; living in or near Oxford is required.
Funding/benefits: competitive compensation plus benefits including enhanced holiday pay, pension, life assurance, income protection, private medical insurance, hospital cash plan, therapy services, Perk Box, and an electrical car scheme.
Deadline: 23 October 2026.
