Postdoctoral Research Associate in England, University of York

Designation/Position-  Postdoctoral Research Associate in England

University of York, England invites application forPostdoctoral Research Associate in England from eligible and interested candidates

About- A BBSRC funded Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available from 1 March for up to 24 months for a project to evaluate the spectroscopic and reactivity properties of copper-containing oxidases working with Professors Paul Walton and Gideon Davies. The project will concentrate on the synthesis and characterisation of a range of small-molecule copper complexes and the study of the EPR and MCD spectroscopy properties of these complexes and the enzymes lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs).
