We’re #hiring! Looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our team to work on high-throughput #polymer synthesis and #antiviral testing as part of our @ERC_Research grant edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/… @UoBChemistry

Research Fellow - School of Chemistry - 105897 - Grade 7

During the project you will prepare novel antiviral polymers that will, in the first instance, be used in solution but can be adapted for use in the solid phase. The main focus will be on screening...
