Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nucleic Acid Computing and Molecular Engineering (Fixed Term)

We invite applications for a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Nucleic Acid Computing and Molecular Programming in the laboratory of Dr Gamze Gursoy at the University of Cambridge. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research programme at the interface of biochemistry, molecular biology, biomolecular engineering, and computational genomics. The current focus is developing new technologies for genetic privacy, a problem requiring molecular and computational systems to be designed together rather than sequentially. The postholder will join an active team developing programmable nucleic-acid systems that sense defined human genomic sequences and convert those molecular recognition events into engineered DNA outputs.
