Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biochemistry and Structural Biology

1 month ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate in biochemistry and structural biology to contribute to pioneering research at the forefront of structural chromosome biology.

This is an exciting opportunity to investigate the molecular mechanisms of SMC complexes using cryo-EM, with the aim of directly visualising their activities. You will employ a multi-disciplinary approach, including protein/nucleic acid biochemistry and bacterial genetics, to test and generate hypotheses.

You will develop new ideas and approaches and provide guidance to less experienced members of the team. This full-time fixed-term post is funded by the Wellcome Trust for up to 4 years in the first instance.

What We Offer

  • An excellent contributory pension scheme
  • 38 days annual leave
  • A comprehensive range of childcare services
  • Family leave schemes
  • Cycle loan scheme
  • Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs
  • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

The University also runs an enormous amount of social groups and sports clubs for those looking for more than just a great place to work.

About You

You will hold, or be near completing, a PhD/DPhil degree in a relevant biological discipline. Good communication and documentation skills, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team are essential.

You will be self-motivated, creative, and persistent, with a proven ability to address challenging research questions. You will have experience in protein chromatography, recombinant DNA techniques, and quantitative data analysis.

The research involves cryo-EM sample preparation, data acquisition, and analysis, so experience in these areas would be advantageous.
