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.
