Short Biography
Andrew Jackson’s research uses neutron scattering techniques, mostly SANS, USANS and Reflectometry, to study polymers, colloids and surfactants. His interest lies in the study of how molecular interactions lead to macroscopic properties of materials. Most recently, he has been interested in self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents, which are non-aqueous hydrogen-bonded solvents with tuneable properties.
AMBER postdoctoral fellowship Project (fifth call)
Self Assembly of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Studied with Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Computational Methods
The advertised postdoctoral position will be based in the Large Scale Structures Division at the European Spallation Source (ESS) working with Dr. Andrew Jackson in collaboration with Prof. Marie Skepö at Lund University (Computational Chemistry). The successful candidate will define and lead a project focused on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) studied by small-angle neutron scattering. The work may explore self-assembling IDPs, both reversible and irreversible oligomer/aggregate formation, and should involve significant method development. A key component will be the development of advanced analysis strategies involving computational modelling (atomistic, coarse-grained, hybrid, or multiscale approaches) and machine learning approaches to uncover the factors driving IDP behaviour and function.
