Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry

**Previous applicants need not apply **





Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry to
work under the supervision of Professor Andrew Baldwin, the post is full time
and fixed term for 12 months. The ERC funded 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.
