The research project will employ cutting-edge experimental methodologies to elucidate the pathways for human tooth enamel mineralization by 4D microscopy and microfluidics. We are looking for a motivated and imaginative materials chemist to drive the effort towards developing breakthrough remineralizing solutions. Further project details are found in the accompanying Job Description.

You should hold a doctorate (PhD/DPhil) or be near completion in a relevant materials chemistry/science/engineering discipline, together with some post-doctoral experience. You should possess a strong background in biomineralization and/or crystallization chemistry, microfluidics, solution synthesis, and spectroscopic techniques (e.g. Raman and infrared), and must be prepared to get involved in complex experimental campaigns (e.g. at synchrotron).

Informal enquiries may be addressed to:

Prof. JC Tan (email: jin-chong.tan@eng.ox.ac.uk)
