Dear All, I'd like to call your attention to a second position announcement for a PhD level structural biologist to join a new biotechnology company called HarkerBIO. I am posting this announcement for any members of the CCP4 board that may be looking for positions but please note that I am not involved with the company. Again, all enquiries should be directed to the [email protected] email address.
Thanks, Eddie --------------------------- HarkerBIO Accelerating Drug Discovery with Structural Biology 700 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, NY 14203 www.harkerbio.com HarkerBIO is a newly established biotechnology company backed by the world-renowned Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, namesake of Nobel Laureate Dr. Herbert Hauptman. Expanding on six decades of scientific research in structural biology and a proven high throughput protein crystallization technology, HarkerBIO provides unique drug discovery and development services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Using three-dimensional structures of drug target molecules, HarkerBIO improves the early stages of drug discovery by creating visual scaffolds upon which new drugs can be built. HarkerBIO structurally guides the optimization of therapeutic candidates. By partnering with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, HarkerBIO is discovering and designing the next generation of drug therapies. HarkerBIO is located on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, a consortium of the region's premier health care, life sciences research, and medical education institutions, all located on 120 acres in downtown Buffalo, New York. Buffalo offers cosmopolitan opportunities in an easily navigable city with a reasonable cost of living. Now with revenues established, an early and expanding customer base, HarkerBIO is seeking an experienced PhD-level structural biologist/x-ray crystallographer with expertise and proven experience in structural biology gained both academically and through working in industry, including structure-based design, protein expression, production (including high-throughput), purification and biochemical assays, fragment-based screening, molecular modelling, computer-assisted docking and structure-determination. Experience working in pharmaceutical and biotechnology R & D is highly desirable, as is key therapeutic area specialization. Required Qualifications * PhD in structural biology, x-ray crystallography or structure-based drug design. * Proven experience including published work in structural biology and work on de novo structures. * Working knowledge of current best-in-class approaches to drug discovery using structural biology and adjacent technologies. * Experience and proven capability working with structural biology within pharmaceutical and biotechnology segments in key therapeutic areas, e.g neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease, oncology, diabetes, infectious disease. * Strong formal academic qualifications in structural biology to PhD-level, including post-doctoral work. * Knowledge of and access to key research contacts within pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets globally relevant to structure-based approaches. * Prior experience working in a CRO or drug discovery services provider. * The ability to work as a collaborative team member, and share responsibilities in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment. * Must be willing and able to travel both domestically and internationally. Compensation The selected candidate will be offered a compensation package with a base salary, incentive rewards tied to performance.
