Post-doctoral in inorganic chemistry 2010

Highlights:

1.      Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work in the group of Professor Fraser Armstrong at the Inorganic Chemistry Research Laboratory, Oxford.

2.      This position, funded by the BBSRC, is tenable immediately and is for one-year in the first instance (with the possibility of a further two years). The goals of the research project are to understand and exploit metalloenzymes known as hydrogenases that catalyze the rapid production and oxidation of hydrogen in microbes, including green algae as well as some pathogens: this requires establishing the basis for tolerance to oxygen and other inhibitors.

3.      Applications of hydrogenases include catalysts for fuel cells, electrochemical and light-driven hydrogen production, novel devices for nanotechnology and the identification and improvement of suitable microbial organisms able to produce hydrogen from sunlight.

4.      The ideal candidate will have carried out doctoral research on redox enzymes, particularly involving recombinant DNA methods, and have a broad understanding of mechanistic principles and physical characterization methods.

5.      Applicants should either already have a PhD in a relevant subject area, or have submitted their thesis prior to taking up the post.

6.      The group is located in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at Oxford, see http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/icl.

7.      Find out more about the Armstrong research group at http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/researchguide/faarmstrong.html

8.      The Further Particulars should be read before an application is made. Informal enquiries should be addressed to fraser.armstrong@chem.ox.ac.uk.

9.      Please quote reference DH10003/FAA in all correspondence.

10.  Further Details are available for download here: FPDH10003FAA.pdf or by e-mail to recruitment@chem.ox.ac.uk quoting reference DH10003/FAA.

11.  Application deadline for this post is 1 March 2010 (£28,983 - £35,646 p.a)
