Dear colleagues,
We have an opening in our group at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, for a postdoctoral researcher for 12 months to work on an exciting drug discovery project with Alborada Drug Discovery Institute (https://cambridge-ddi.alzheimersresearchuk.org/) to support their inhibitor design process with fragment-based approaches and with structural analyses.
We’d hope to find someone with expertise in this area already, be it in crystallography (we hope to run a large fragment screen against the target), NMR (ligand-observe fragment screens), biophysics (ITC, SPR, …) and/or chemistry, but significant support around as well. Plenty of work to be done to understand how the inhibitors work, so experience in mechanistic analysis of proteins would be very useful.
Details from University of Cambridge application portal: https://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/31927/
Happy to receive informal queries by email as well.
Please do spread the word towards any potential candidates.
Best, Marko
