:Research Fellow in High-Speed AFM: The University of Leeds is seeking an ambitious and skilled Research Fellow to join an EPSRC Open Fellowship project in the group of Dr. George Heath. The project aims to develop new Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) methods to improve spatial resolution and quantitatively map interactions at microsecond and sub-nanometer resolution, with a focus on healthcare applications.
Research Fellow in High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy Methods Development
Designation: Research Fellow
Research Area: High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy Methods Development
Location: Leeds – Main Campus
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Biophysics, or a related field is required, or submitted thesis prior to taking up the role
- Experience in atomic force microscopy of biological samples
- Developing track record of peer-reviewed publications in international journals
Job Description:
The selected candidate will be responsible for experimentally developing AFM methods to enable near atomic resolution imaging of single biomolecules interacting with binding partners. The research will contribute to a better understanding of disease processes and the development of treatment options at the single molecule, cellular, and tissue levels.
