Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Full-time, Fastened-term till 31 Might 2025

We’re in search of to nominate a Postdoctoral Analysis Scientist to affix Professor Dame Molly Stevens’s lab on the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery. The Stevens Group relies on the Division of Physiology Anatomy and Genetics and can also be a part of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering. The post-holder will develop next-generation multiplexed sensing platforms as an efficient path to establishing personalised, user-centered diagnostics. The publish will liaise carefully with researchers engaged on nanotechnology, biosensing, optics, and machine studying to develop a sophisticated point-of-care diagnostic platform with a powerful translational emphasis. This publish will develop nanostructured biosensing surfaces, examine their recognition and binding capacities, and consider them to be used in SERS based mostly biosensing functions. This multi-disciplinary analysis requires data of floor chemistry and characterisation, supplies chemistry and Raman spectroscopy. The post-holder might be energetic inside a vibrant and multidisciplinary atmosphere comprising a number of analysis strands in basic and utilized bionanoscience.

Primarily based at Professor Dame Molly Stevens’ group, the publish will contain collaborations with different internationally recognised biomaterials and nanomaterials analysis teams. The Stevens Group has obtained quite a few awards for excellent biomaterials associated analysis (www.stevensgroup.org) and contains a various and multidisciplinary group of postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate college students. We’re on the lookout for a gifted scientist who’s a assured self-starter and a collaborative workforce member with impeccable work ethics.

Along with having, or nearing completion of, a PhD diploma in a related topic, candidates ought to have analysis expertise in floor chemistry design for biosensing and illness diagnostic functions, Raman spectroscopy (specifically SERS-based biosensing), and nanomaterial and chemical-based floor characterization strategies. The candidate must also have the ability to handle their very own analysis and administrative actions. Earlier expertise can be demonstrated by a confirmed observe report of first creator publications in peer reviewed journals. Expertise in scientific translational science, entrepreneurial actions or mental property is fascinating.

This can be a full-time place, initially fixed-term for 12 months within the first occasion.

The publish might be based mostly the Division of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics, Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, situated on the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Constructing, Parks Street, Oxford, OX1 3QU.

To use for this place, please submit your software by noon on Monday twenty sixth February. Your software ought to embrace a canopy letter, curriculum vitae (CV), and speak to data for references.

Shortlisted candidates might be invited for interviews, that are more likely to be held three weeks after the cut-off date.

Enquiries will be directed to the DPAG HR Staff – [email protected].

Functions are notably welcome from girls, black and minority ethnic candidates who’re under-represented in educational posts in Oxford.

Whereas this can be a full-time function, we welcome functions from people who want to be thought-about for part-time working or different versatile working preparations.

We, as a Division and Neighborhood, might be thoughtful and welcoming of all folks, no matter race, ethnicity, faith, incapacity, sexual orientation and gender id. We acknowledge societal inequalities and the way these influence us, and people round us, personally and professionally. – DPAG Assertion of Inclusion
