Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry

£39.42k - £47.78k per annum

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemistry

Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery & Department of Chemistry, South Parks Road, Oxford

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of protein science? We are seeking a talented and driven postdoctoral researcher to join a BBSRC-funded project in Single Molecule Proteomics . This ambitious initiative is led by Professor Justin Benesch and brings together a multidisciplinary team from the Universities of Oxford, Liverpool, and Cambridge.

About the Project

This collaborative effort aims to revolutionize how we identify proteins and their modifications--especially phosphorylation, which plays a critical role in regulating protein function but remains elusive with current technologies. We’re developing a novel platform to uncover the hidden dynamics of proteins in health and disease.

Your Role

As a postdoc on this project, you’ll be part of a dynamic team working at the intersection of computational biology, molecular biophysics, and cutting-edge analytical technologies. You’ll contribute to the development and application of computational methods to understand protein folding, structure, and interactions.

We’re Looking for Someone With:
  • Expertise in gas phase molecular dynamics simulations
  • Talented in scientific software development and high-performance computing
  • Experience in theory calculations
  • Well versed in native mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry

Why Join Us?

You’ll be working alongside leading scientists including Philipp Kukura, Dirk Aarts, Hagan Bayley, Madhavi Krishnan, Yujia Qing, Yarin Gal, Kevin Foster, Claire Eyers, and Sarah Teichmann. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a transformative project with real-world impact, in a collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment. If you’re excited by the challenge of uncovering the hidden layers of protein biology and want to be part of a pioneering team, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help shape the future of proteomics.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online, and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Certificates, references and research papers should not be provided at this stage.

To apply for this role and for further details, including a job description and selection criteria, please click on the link below.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday, Wednesday 24 June 2026. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.

The University of Oxford and The Department of Chemistry are Silver Athena SWAN holders. Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are under-represented in Chemistry research posts in Oxford.
