Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Soft Matter to work under the supervision of Professor Alice Thorneywork for a period of up to 24 months.
The successful candidate will join an ambitious research program exploring the role of fluctuations in molecular transport processes by studying highly controlled experimental models at the meso- and nanoscale. The post will focus on nanoscale models built from nanoparticles, solid-state nanopores and DNA. More information about the research and group can be found at: https://thorneyworklab.web.ox.ac.uk/home.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, or a related subject area, (or be close to completion) prior to taking up your appointment. The research requires experience with DNA nanotechnology techniques. You will be expected to manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.
The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Physical & Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, South Parks Road, Oxford and is available as soon as possible.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Certificates, references and research papers should not be provided at this stage.
