Postdoctoral fellowship available in a collaborative structure-guided drug
discovery project between my group and groups of Sharon Rossiter and Stewart
Kirton at University of Hertfordshire, funded by the Hertfordshire Science
Partnership Therapy Accelerator scheme.
Successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team exploring novel
inhibitors of a cancer drug target protein. The position offers access to the
state of the art laboratory facilities at the University of Cambridge and the
University of Hertfordshire, plus the opportunity to work at the dynamic
industry/academia interface of the Stevenage BioScience Catalyst campus
(http://www.stevenagecatalyst.com/). The postdoctoral fellow will develop and
optimise biophysical methods for high-throughput screening of inhibitors,
measurement of inhibitor-protein interactions, crystallographic elucidation of
ligand-protein complexes and fragment-based approaches to discovering novel
inhibitor scaffolds as a potential therapy for pancreatic cancer.
Applicants should possess (or about to obtain) a doctorate in biochemistry,
chemistry, structural biology or a closely related subject. Experience in
molecular cloning, protein expression, purification and characterisation,
biophysical analysis of protein-ligand interactions and protein crystallography
are essential for this post, previous experience in structure-guided drug
discovery a definite advantage.
More details of the positions and on how to apply can be found through the link
below and on the website of University of Hertfordshire (https://www.jobs.herts.ac.uk).
Informal enquiries can be sent to Dr Sharon Rossiter ([email protected])
or myself.
