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 team-oriented 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.
