At UNSW, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work.


The School of Chemistry at UNSW is recognised nationally and internationally, for producing world-class fundamental and applied research in the field of Chemical Sciences to address real-world challenges.

The School's research strengths include Health, Energy, Advanced Materials, Sustainability as well as understanding fundamental molecular properties.


The role of the Research Associate will be to work on a project related to prebiotic chemistry that seeks to synthesize peptides for self-assembly and nonenzymatic template-directed peptide synthesis.

Peptides will initially be synthesized using standard solid-phase automated techniques. Template-directed peptide synthesis will require development and optimization of appropriate aqueous-phase activation chemistry for peptide bond formation. Analysis of the reaction will require physical organic and supramolecular experimental techniques. Later stages of the project will also involve synthetic RNA oligomers.
