We are currently recruiting two postdoctoral research associates:

The first project is funded by the Wellcome Trust and focuses on understanding how some viruses change their receptor specificity from glycan- to protein-binding, and how receptor selection may influence the mechanism of viral entry. Answering these questions will help us better understand past pandemics and prepare more effectively for those in the future. 

The second project is a close collaboration with the Suskiewicz group at the Centre de Biophysique Moléculaire in Orléans, France, and will involve an extended scientific visit to their lab. (Please see Marcin’s website to find out more about the lab: https://msuskiewicz.github.io/research/ .) This project is funded by the HFSP and focuses on understanding the functional importance and prevalence of filamentation among transcription factors at the structural level. The project has the potential to uncover new mechanisms governing the fundamental biological process of gene expression.

Full details about the posts, responsibilities, and selection criteria are available through the links above. The current deadline for applications is 15 September 2025 but it will be extended by one week. For informal enquiries please email antoni.wrobel at bioch.ox.ac.uk with your CV.

We are always keen to hear from people interested in our research, who would like to discuss potential collaborations and fellowship opportunities at the lab. Interested individuals are invited to email antoni.wrobel at bioch.ox.ac.uk with a CV containing contact details of three referees and a cover letter outlining their fit to the group and long-term career goals.

Postgraduate applicants interested in joining the lab should either apply directly through the Department of Biochemistry or one of the DPhil programmes at Oxford.

The direct application procedure normally opens in late summer and the details can be found here: https://www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/graduate, with the outline of the projects we offer here: https://www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/supervisors-and-projects.

We are currently also offering projects to students in the following programmes with independent application procedures:

Skaggs-Oxford DPhil Programme: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/dphil-biochemistry-outsri

Engineering Biology Centre for Doctoral Training: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/engineering-biology

Interdisciplinary Life and Environmental Science Programme (ILESLA) Doctoral Training Centre: https://www.ilesla.ox.ac.uk/

Undergraduate students interested in discussing potential research opportunities at the lab should email antoni.wrobel at bioch.ox.ac.uk with a CV containing contact details of two referees and a cover letter outlining their research interests.
