VACANCIES
The Palmer research group carry out inter-disciplinary research in biochemistry and chemical physics. If you are interested in working in the group at the University of Strathclyde, please contact Dr Palmer directly.
Vacancies will be advertised here as they arise. If no vacancies are currently available, then it might be possible to apply for funding to join the group from one or more of the schemes listed below. Please contact Dr Palmer if you are considering making an application.
The Palmer Lab is currently open to applications for a (one) fully-funded PhD position. The PhD student will work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of synthetic chemists, chemical biologists, and data scientists supported by a £3.9M EPSRC Prosperity Partnership Award centred around the development of next generation medicines beyond Lipinski space. This is a multi-year, collaborative endeavour with our industrial partner GSK, and has the overall objective of retooling the underpinning synthesis of oligonucleotides (ONs) and their derivatives, the development of platforms for cell targeting, and new approaches to heterobifunctional molecules. More information about the PhD position can be found here. Applications should be submitted at this link. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
