The appointee will be responsible mainly for the following:

Design and conduct research in chemical biology, with particular emphasis on protein biochemistry, protein immobilisation, bioconjugation and enzyme-based biosensor development;
Develop and optimise protein immobilisation and bioconjugation strategies, including surface functionalisation, site-specific conjugation and linker design, to preserve protein activity, accessibility, orientation and stability;
Investigate the effects of immobilisation chemistry, conjugation methods and surface properties on protein function, enzyme activity and biosensor performance;
Design and optimise enzyme-based biochemical assays, including characterisation of enzyme kinetics, reaction mechanisms and assay performance;
Develop and validate biochemical detection platforms, evaluating their sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, stability and robustness;
Analyse and interpret experimental data, troubleshoot technical challenges and collaborate with an interdisciplinary research team;
Prepare manuscripts, research reports and presentations, and contribute to research funding applications; and
Support research student training, maintain accurate laboratory records and coordinate day-to-day research activities.

Candidates

Candidates should possess the following qualifications, experience and competence:

Have hands-on research experience in chemical biology, particularly protein immobilisation, bioconjugation, protein modification or surface functionalisation;
Possess practical knowledge of protein biochemistry and experience in developing or optimising biochemical assays involving enzymes or other functional proteins;
Demonstrate an understanding of the chemical principles underlying protein–surface interactions, conjugation chemistry and the effects of chemical modification on protein structure and function;
Demonstrate the ability to independently design experiments, develop and optimise laboratory protocols, troubleshoot experimental problems and critically interpret quantitative data;
Have good scientific writing and communication skills in English and the ability to work effectively within an interdisciplinary research team; and
Demonstrate research achievements appropriate to their career stage. Experience in site-specific protein conjugation, enzyme kinetics, biosensor development or quantitative data analysis using Python, R, MATLAB or equivalent software would be an advantage.
