ProfessorMaxie Roessler

3-year PDRA position available from 1 September. Biochemistry expertise essential. EPR + spin-labelling expertise desirable. Job advert here. 

Group website: www.imperial.ac.uk/roessler-lab

Maxie leads a research group rooted in bioinorganic chemistry and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. She is also director of the Centre for Pulse EPR spectroscopy at Imperial (www.imperial.ac.uk/pulse-epr-facility/). The group's mission is to understand and exploit electron transfer processes in biology through the development of new methodology (see research section & www.imperial.ac.uk/roessler-lab/).

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Maxie completed her DPhil on EPR spectroscopic investigations of Fe-S cluster relays in enzymes at Oxford in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Fraser Armstrong FRS, started her independent career at Queen Mary University of London in 2013 and moved to Imperial College in April 2019.

She secured >£4M as Principal Investigator and leads an £2.3M EPSRC strategic equipment project, establishing a Centre of Pulse ESR spectroscopy (PEPR) at Imperial College. She is passionate about contributing to the EPR community internationally and served as Vice President of the International ESR Society.

Maxie's group has contributed to numerous outreach activities, including the Imperial Lates, the Invention Rooms at White City, as well as the Great Exhibition Road Festival.
