Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work under the supervision of Dr Mark Wallace on a project funded by the European Research Council for a period of 3 years. This post is available from May 2013.

This ERC funded project seeks to go beyond the limitations of current artificial lipid bilayers to construct complex synthetic mimics of the cell membrane. These mimics will be used in two ways: (1) We will develop artificial bilayers capable of making precise, controlled changes in mesoscopic membrane phenomena including molecular crowding, membrane curvature, and phase behaviour. We will use these tools to study the behaviour of a number of important membrane proteins using single-molecule methods. Biomolecules of interest include specific mechanosensitive ion channels, GPCRs, antimicrobial peptides, biopolymers and protein pores. (2) We will also use these new forms of lipid bilayer for bottom-up synthetic biology to create biosensors and cell mimics capable of undergoing morphological changes and interacting with their environment.

The group is located in the Chemistry Research Laboratory, Mansfield Road, Oxford. You can find out more at http://wallace.chem.ox.ac.uk.

Applicants should have expertise in biophysics, microscopy, microfluidics, optics or molecular biology. You should either already have a PhD, or have submitted your thesis prior to taking up the post.
