Surface / Membrane Chemist (26618)

Working within a multidisciplinary team of chemists, biologists, physicists and engineers, the Surface / Membrane Chemist will take a key role in: designing and optimising highly-sensitive assays; troubleshooting and improving current processes; generating experimental plans and reports; developing small scale manufacturing; and collaborating with different stakeholders on R&D projects.

Requirements:

• Will have a PhD in chemistry or biochemistry with subsequent lab-based postdoctoral experience.
• Demonstrable project experience with organic chemistry or biomolecules (ideally fluorescent dye conjugation chemistry, nucleic acids / peptides / proteins).
• Experience with quantitative biophysical chemistry methods such as IR, MS, NMR, liquid chromatography, Raman spectroscopy etc…
• Experience with membranes and surfactants.
• Additional knowledge of microfluidics, in-droplet assays and high-throughput assays would be desirable.

As projects are team-based, good communication skills are required. Further, it is expected that the role would be lab-based most of the time (although some home-working is possible when project work allows). On offer, an excellent compensation package is available including a wide range of benefits.
