University of Oxford is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Single Molecule Analytics in the Department of Chemistry / Krishnan Lab. This is a research-focused postdoctoral opening for candidates with interests in structural biology , biochemistry , single-molecule measurements , molecular biophysics , nanotechnology , instrumentation, and data analysis. The project description highlights a new experimental approach for measuring a molecule’s size and shape in the nanometer scale, with emphasis on single-molecule analytics, optical imaging, and experimental platform development. The role is especially relevant for applicants who enjoy combining biology with physical science methods and who can contribute to building or modifying experimental setups. Eligibility highlights: applicants should have recently obtained a PhD in physics, biophysics, biochemistry, physical chemistry, engineering, or a related area, and must have submitted the PhD thesis before starting. The ideal candidate should be highly motivated, have a strong interest in single-molecule experimentation, and be comfortable with basic biochemical work involving proteins and DNA. Funding and employment: this is a paid postdoctoral staff position at Research Grade 7, with salary listed as £39,424 per annum.
