**The Opportunity**
An exciting opportunity awaits a passionate and driven researcher to join the Medicinal Chemistry Theme at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences as a Research Fellow. This role offers the chance to be at the forefront of innovation in chemical biology, with a focus on developing cutting-edge tools for molecular sensing and imaging.
Under the guidance of Dr. Amandeep Kaur, you will contribute to a vibrant research program centered on the design and development of novel fluorescent probes for super-resolution imaging—a powerful technique revolutionizing how we visualize biological systems at the molecular level.
As a Research Fellow, you will:
- join a cutting-edge team where your expertise will drive the development of next-generation fluorescent probes and transformative sensing technologies.
- engineer novel fluorescent probes through advanced design, synthesis, purification, and characterisation techniques.
- perform high-resolution fluorescence microscopy experiments that unveil the unseen.
- analyse complex data to uncover insights and pioneer new strategies for molecular sensing and imaging.
We’re looking for someone who brings:
- A PhD in chemical biology, organic chemistry, or a related field
- Proven experience in synthesis and validation of small molecules. Experience in fluorescent probe development will be highly regarded
- Experience with fluorescence microscopy techniques. Familiarity with super-resolution imaging is a strong plus
This is your chance to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team, working on research that has the potential to transform how we study and understand complex biological systems.
