Advance organic synthesis research at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology through carbohydrate skeletal editing and methodology development. This 12-month post begins 1 January 2027.
As a Research Associate in the Miller research group, you will develop synthetic transformations for editing sugar scaffolds. The work involves organic synthesis, reaction optimisation, analytical characterisation, and collaborative research. Prior carbohydrate chemistry experience is not essential.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and conduct high-quality organic synthesis research
- Establish transformations for carbohydrate skeletal editing
- Optimise reactions and investigate scope and limitations
- Characterise products using analytical and spectroscopic techniques
- Manage projects and write research reports
Requirements:
- PhD in organic chemistry
- Research focus on synthesis or methodology development
- Experience devising, optimising, and troubleshooting organic reactions
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
Apply organic synthesis, methodology development, and analytical expertise within the Miller group's carbohydrate skeletal editing research.
