<p class="MsoNormal">Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) combined with microfluidics has emerged as a powerful tool for studying biomolecular interactions, nanoparticle assembly, and other structural changes in real time. Microfluidic devices enable precise
control over rapid mixing, optimised sample consumption, dilution, and nanoscale monitoring of molecular interactions, e.g. for protein folding studies, drug screening, and soft matter research.<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><br>
</b>The main task is to conduct research and develop independence as a researcher. The position includes the opportunity for further training and courses in consultation with the PI. You will focus on the development of online microfluidic technology. The development
will be driven by biomedical (protein aggregation & amyloid systems, lipid nanoparticle assembly), soft matter and industrial (polymer synthesis, emulsions, hydrogels, self assembly) applications. The successful applicant will be a highly motivated individual
with a strong academic background in the physical sciences and will be expected to work closely with both beamline scientists and scientists from the user community whose projects require this unique technological combination.<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Techniques involved will include <span lang="EN-GB">X-ray </span>
small-angle scattering (SAXS), and <span lang="EN-GB">possibly </span>cryo-EM. The successful applicant will have good access to advanced international facility centres for synchrotron X-ray and neutron beams such as
