About the position
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Single-molecule Chemistry for Environmental Sciences
The Qing Laboratory at Oxford is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a NERC-funded Pushing the Frontiers of Environmental Science programme focused on advancing nanopore technologies for the real-time detection of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This project sits at the interface of chemistry and environmental science, developing end-to-end chemical workflows for nanopore-based VOC analysis in collaboration with environmental scientists. The work aims to apply cutting-edge molecular sensing approaches to ecosystem monitoring and environmental diagnostics.
We are looking for candidates with a PhD (or near completion) in chemistry, chemical biology, environmental chemistry, or a related field, with a strong background in molecular sciences—particularly organic or physical chemistry—and an interest in interdisciplinary research. Experience in areas such as covalent or supramolecular chemistry, or single-molecule biophysics, would be advantageous.
The position is fixed term until 31 December 2028. If you are interested in applying advanced sensing technologies to environmental challenges within a collaborative research environment, please get in touch to learn more.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 3 December 2026, please upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
