You will join an interdisciplinary research team working at the interface of nanotechnology, biophysics, and single-molecule sensing. In this role, you will design, develop, and apply nanopore- and optical-based platforms to study biomolecular processes at the single-molecule level, with a focus on proteins in native environments.
You will take a hands-on role in experimental design, data acquisition, and quantitative analysis, contributing directly to high-quality publications and research outputs. You will work closely with academic colleagues, PhD students, and external collaborators, and you will have opportunities to help shape the scientific direction of the project.
This is a role for someone who enjoys building experiments, solving problems, and interpreting complex data. You might be running single-molecule measurements the next, and analysing stochastic signals or writing a paper the next day. We are looking for a motivated researcher with a background in physics, engineering, chemistry, or a related discipline, and experience (or strong interest) in areas such as nanopores, single-molecule biophysics, nanofabrication, or advanced optical/electrical measurements.
Interviews: w/c 21st Sept 2026
You don’t need to meet every requirement to apply. We value curiosity, initiative, and a collaborative mindset, and we are committed to supporting flexible working patterns and diverse career paths. If you can see yourself growing in this role, we would love to hear from you.
For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly.
