Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom University of Exeter Full time

The University of Exeter is proud to offer a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. This exciting opportunity is available from April 2025 on a three-year fixed-term contract.

The successful candidate will collaborate with Prof Stefano Pagliara's group on the project 'Stereochemical Selection Across Proto-Cellular Membranes.'

This project is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and involves collaboration with renowned researchers worldwide. The successful candidate will investigate molecule transport across membranes using advanced techniques, including vesicle electroformation instrumentation and microscopy.

The ideal candidate will have extensive expertise in biophysics and be able to develop new methodologies, write high-impact publications, and present at conferences. A PhD in biophysics, physics, bioengineering, or biochemistry is required, along with prior experience in membrane transport and lipid vesicle formation.

The starting salary for this position is £45,000, which may be adjusted based on qualifications and experience. We strive to ensure reasonable adjustments for interviews and workplaces.
