Research Opportunities at the Intersection of Supramolecular Chemistry and DNA Nanotechnology
This is a hands-on research position that focuses on developing functional, responsive systems from the bottom up using DNA and RNA self-assembly. As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to design and execute research programs that leverage the chemistry of small and light-activated molecules for non-equilibrium DNA systems.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop novel supramolecular architectures through DNA nanotechnology
* Characterise materials using advanced imaging techniques (AFM, TEM), fluorescence spectroscopy, and biostructural tools
* Collaborate with a diverse team of researchers across chemistry, biology, and materials science
Requirements
* PhD in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, or a related discipline
* Strong prior experience in DNA nanoscience and/or DNA origami synthesis and characterisation
* Demonstrated expertise in supramolecular chemistry, computational modelling, and/or biochemistry
About This Role
You will be working as part of a multidisciplinary team at UNSW, a leading research and teaching university located in Australia. We pride ourselves on being a workplace where the best people come to do their best work.
