Simon Moore

Simon Moore’s group at Imperial College London is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position in biochemistry and microbiology. The project will investigate the biosynthesis of new-to-nature natural products , combining biological production with scaled-up manufacturing and purification. The researcher will contribute to developing and applying approaches that enable these compounds to be produced and recovered at larger scale. The position includes co-supervision with Tolga Osman Bozkurt from Life Sciences and Marko Storch at the London Biofoundry. The research will also involve collaboration on scale-up activities in São Paulo, Brazil, providing an international dimension and access to a broader biomanufacturing environment. A separate two-year postdoctoral position in cell-free biosynthesis is expected to be released subsequently and is distinct from the three-year opening described here.
