These arrays will be studied using confocal fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime imaging, Raman microscopy and AFM. He/she will work within an interdisciplinary research team and will focus on the development of liposomes and proteoliposomes and the preparation of supported lipid bilayers on gold and polymeric nanoarrays for study of membrane proteins protein diffusion by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.

Person specification:
We seek a qualified candidate with a Ph.D. in chemistry, biophysics or a related area with a proven track record of accomplishment in liposome and/or proteoliposome preparation and in preparation and study of supported lipid membrane assembly and interfacial modification. Candidates who combine these skills with interfacial spectroscopy particularly fluorescence, and/or Raman Microscopy are particularly sought.

The position is available immediately initially for a year with the possibility of extension to further year.
