Role Overview & Responsibilities
The Role
Within the Davis group in the Next Generation Chemistry theme, one of the aims is to develop new synthetic chemical methods to edit complex biomolecules as a form of post-translational mutagenesis. Specifically, this project will develop new methods for the manipulation of complex protein [see e.g. Nature, 2020, 585, 530], sugar [see e.g. Nature, 2016, 540, 574; Nature 2018, 563, 235-240], lipid [see e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 566-569; Cell 2018, 175, 1045-1058] and/or nucleic acid [see e.g. Nature, 2016, 540, 574, Angew. Chem. Intl Ed. 2013, 52, 10553-10558] substrates. Within this theme, you will expand on these discoveries and develop new methods for chemical manipulation of biomolecules in ever more complex environments to probe fundamental aspects of biology and medicine. The post, reports to the Franklin’s Theme Lead for Chemistry (Ben Davis), as well as key academic collaborators and will work alongside other researchers in the Franklin and at partner university institutes including at the University of Oxford (where some groups, such as the Davis group, are jointly based).
About you
Candidates must hold a post-graduate qualification/PhD (or equivalent experience) in Chemistry, Biochemistry or Chemical Biology, Biology, Biomolecular Science, or related subjects. We are looking for candidates with a demonstrated aptitude for protein and/or sugar and/or lipid chemistry and/or nucleic acid chemistry and associated methods. Experience in synthetic methods applied to biomolecules and functional application as well as experience in project management are essential for this role.
