Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time
Department of Chemistry, Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, New Biochemistry Building, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QU This role will be based in the Department of Chemistry and will integrate into the team working on this project that are under the collective direction of Profs Benesch, Aarts, Bayley, Krishnan, Kukura, and Qing. The team is focussed on the integration of three main technologies (nanopore sensing, mass photometry, and escape-time electrometry) to perform multidimensional analyses of proteins, ultimately performing single molecule measurements of mass, charge, and chemical profiles in a complex biological mixtures. This position is motivated by the fact that integration of these technologies requires the development of novel micro- and nanofluidic approaches. You will design and fabricate micro/nanofluidic devices in Si, glass and PDMS using cleanroom-based nanofabrication processes and demonstrate their operation using single molecule optical microscopy and electrical measurements. About you: Applicants must hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or a related area or be close to completion, prior to taking up your appointment. You should have experience in working in clean-room environments and be experienced in microfluidic device design and fabrication as well as clean-room workflows. You should be able to demonstrate interest in developing new technologies for single molecule measurements of biological molecules and a basic knowledge in single molecule optical microscopy or electrochemistry. You will join a growing interdisciplinary team and be expected to contribute to the day-to-day operation of the cleanroom facility, training of new users and assisting with the development of new fabrication processes. You will be expected to manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, co-ordinating multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. Applications are welcome from candidates who don’t currently have the right to work in the UK, but who would be eligible to obtain a visa. Application Process :
