Develop Novel Methods for Cell Wall Characterization

">

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop novel methods for characterizing the rheological properties of living and model algal cell walls. This project, funded under the UKRI Cross Council Responsive Mode Scheme, aims to investigate the mechanical properties of marine algae cell walls, which adapt rapidly to extreme changes in salinity and hydrostatic pressure.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in soft matter physics, biophysics, or a related field. You will work closely with colleagues across three UK universities (Liverpool, Imperial, and Durham) to explore the molecular diversity of marine cell walls from a cross-disciplinary perspective.

The position is fixed-term for 2 years, subject to funding confirmation. The salary for this role is ££32,880 - £40,470 per annum, depending on your qualifications and experience. If you are still awaiting your PhD award, you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation of your PhD award, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.

Our Team:

You will be part of the Department of Materials, Design, and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Liverpool, working in a dynamic and supportive research environment. Our team is dedicated to exploring the complex relationships between biology and mechanics.
