This Research Associate position sits within the Miller research group at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. You will investigate sugar scaffold transformations, assess reaction scope, and characterise isolated products using suitable techniques. The 12-month post may be extended for two further years.
Key Responsibilities: Develop innovative transformations for sugar scaffold editing
Plan and perform synthetic methodology research
Investigate reaction scope and experimental limitations
Isolate and fully characterise reaction products
Collaborate across the diverse research team
Requirements: PhD focused on organic synthesis or methodology
Evidence developing creative synthetic methods or protocols
Ability to devise and optimise organic reactions
Flexible approach to emerging research problems
Strong interpersonal and communication abilities
Bring synthetic methodology, reaction development, and collaborative research skills to carbohydrate skeletal editing at Manchester.
