Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CLOSING DATE OF THIS POST HAS BEEN EXTENDED **





Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry to
work under the supervision of Professor Andrew Baldwin for a period of up to 3
years. The project is part of a wider programme of work to establish that
membraneless organelles, biological liquid droplets, are effectively regions
of organic solvent, suspended inside cells and that the properties of each are
governed by the specific intermolecular interactions responsible for
stabilising the chains. This presents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate
how fundamental principles from physical chemistry have been incorporated into
cellular function.



Applicants must hold a PhD in Biochemistry or a related area, or be close to
completion, prior to taking up your appointment. The research requires
experience in protein expression, production of biological samples, a passion
for precise work in the wet lab, ideally with knowledge in advanced microscopy
techniques. You will be expected to manage your own academic research and
administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, co-
ordinating multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.

Oxford and be available in Q1 2024.





You will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your
online application. The closing date for applications is **12.00 midday 27
November 2023**. Interviews will be held remotely in November or December
2023.
