Cambridge Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme
Post-doc/Research Fellowship position
If you are an early career, post doctoral researcher interested in chemical biology/biophysics/structural biology of ion channels and receptors, the group can potentially support you for some post doctoral Fellowship applications as outline below. Feel free to contact Taufiq Rahman with your CV. He particularly welcome those with ion channels or computational biophysics background.
Career Development Fellowship from the Royal Society for STEM researcher from underrepresented background: if you are eligible for this fellowship (call opens in September 22, 2026) and interested in ion channels/cell signalling/computational drug design/computational biophysics, feel free to contact me and I may potentially be support your application as a host.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Post Doctoral Fellowship: The call for this fellowship is closed now. Please get in touch if you are interested in any in any project around any ion channels.
International Newton Fellowship (Royal Society): the call is closed now for this year; but happy to consider for 2027 round.
EMBO Post Doctoral Fellowship: Please get in touch if you are interested in any project around any ion channels.
