Oxford Nanopore Technologies is headquartered at the Oxford Science Park outside Oxford, UK, with satellite offices and commercial presence in many global locations across the US, APAC and Europe.
Oxford Nanopore employs from multiple subject areas including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Dr Gordon Sanghera, has a track record of delivering disruptive technologies to the market.
Oxford Nanopore’s sequencing platform is the only technology that offers real-time analysis (for rapid insights), in fully scalable formats from pocket to population scale, that can analyse native DNA or RNA and sequence any length of fragment to achieve short to ultra-long read lengths.
We are looking for someone with molecular biology lab-based skills to join the Protein Sequencing team as a Research Scientist. This position supports the discovery and testing of novel peptide and protein sequencing methods.

The Protein Sequencing team explores novel ways to sequence and characterise proteins using nanopores, with the potential to revolutionise biological analysis. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and evaluating novel ways of delivering proteins to our platform comprised of highly-arrayed nanopores. The role will be mostly laboratory-based with responsibilities including:

• Preparation of analytes for sequencing using existing and novel methods;
• Biochemical, biophysical, and sequencing-based assays;
• Protein and nucleic acid modification or conjugation;
• Analysing, presenting and summarising data to other members of the team;

• Lab book-keeping and use of our LIMS systems to track experiments;Collaborating with other teams across our Research, Development and Production divisions.
