Oxford Nanopore's sequencing platform is the only technology that offers real-time analysis (for rapid insights), in fully scalable formats from pocket to population scale, that can analyse native DNA or RNA and sequence any length of fragment to achieve shortto ultra-long read lengths.

Our goal is to enable the analysis of any living thing, by anyone, anywhere. We offer real-time Nanopore-based DNA/RNA sequencing technology: accessible, easy to use and fully scalable for any requirement

We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join the Sequencing Chemistry Research Team as a Research Scientist to develop motor proteins for our disruptive sequencing devices, such as the MinION, GridION and PromethION.

The Details...

Reporting to the Associate Director, you will be responsible for the single molecule characterisation and data analysis of our motor proteins.

This role will require handling complex data and the adoption of new algorithms and analysis methods from other researchteams.
What We're Looking For...

  • You will have a PhD in biophysics, physics, bioinformatics, biochemistry or equivalent. Experience of using the Linux operating system and python based data analysis is highly desirable. Furthermore, knowledge of molecular motors or enzyme kinetics wouldbe advantageous.
