Postdoctoral Research Associate in Membrane Biology and Evolution

University of Oxford
£38,674 - £46,913 a year
Oxford, England
6 days ago
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support our projects to understand membrane evolution. The aim of this project is to use molecular dynamic simulations to understand membrane permeability selection in variant membrane chemistries. This work will run in parallel to experimental analysis conducted at the University of Exeter using synthetic vesicles to observe permeability characteristics directly.
The main responsibilities of the post holder are to develop and edit molecular simulations of different biologically relevant membrane chemistries, for example membranes with different stereochemistry and variant lipid tails. The post holder will then use molecular dynamic simulations to explore which compounds can cross variant membranes. The post holder will be responsible for conducting these bioinformatic experiments. Access to a high-performance computer will be provided.
The candidate must be capable of generating complex molecular compound models in silico and using current molecular dynamic simulation software to study interactions. Applicants must demonstrate a track record in applying such approaches including a relevant Ph.D./DPhil and experience. Applicants must also be confident in using bioinformatic software, writing computer code and working in HPC environments.
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
This post is part time (50% FTE) and fixed term until 31 March 2027 in the first instance and available immediately.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 15 August 2025, interviews are likely to be scheduled for late August 2025. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment system, and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application.
