[Biofizika] 5-year Research Fellowship in Biophysics

[Juraj Szavits-Nossan]

Research Fellowship in Biophysics
University of Cambridge
United Kingdom

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 5 years in the 
first instance.

Applications are invited for a five-year Research Fellowship, generously 
funded by the Frances and Augustus Newman Foundation, to work with 
Professor Tuomas Knowles on the biophysics of anti-microbial peptides. 
Antibiotic resistance is a very significant challenge to our society and 
healthcare systems, and new modalities of action are required to address 
this problem. The project will focus on the discovery of new peptide 
antibiotics through the use of high-throughput droplet microfluidics. 
The mechanism of action and activity of the peptides will be 
characterised at a biophysical level.

Applicants should have a PhD in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or 
other relevant discipline. Experience with peptide chemistry and/or 
microfluidics and instrument development would be advantageous. 
Applicants will be expected to work in an interdisciplinary environment 
and interact with a team of scientists with a wide range of expertise in 
biophysics and biophysical chemistry.
