Applications are invited for a BBSRC sLoLa funded Post-Doctoral Research Associate position in the area of synthetic chemistry and chemical biology to work in the group of Prof. Nick Tomkinson at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
The project will focus on the development of chemical tools to interrogate and dissect the biochemical process of S-acylation, which involves the addition and removal of fatty acid chains to proteins, affecting their function and location within cells. You will be part of a broader team of >20 researchers undertaking an integrated analysis of S-acylation dynamics and its importance in cell physiology (https://www.ukri.org/news/bbsrc-injects-20-million-into-long-term-discovery-research/). Successful outcome of this research could have profound implications on our understanding of this important pot-translational modification and lead to impact in the treatment of a variety of diseases.
The successful candidate will be a highly motivated scientist with a proven track record in publishing high quality outputs and will have been awarded a PhD degree in synthetic/biological/medicinal chemistry. Additionally, the post requires excellent communication skills and an ability to work with and motivate others. The post will suit an ambitious chemist keen to pursue an academic or industrial career working at the chemistry/biology interface.
Formal interviews for this post will be held in August 2025.
Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor Nicholas Tomkinson, nicholas.tomkinson@strath.ac.uk
