Dear Colleagues,

We have an opening in our new Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation (CeTPD) at Dundee’s School of Life Sciences for a Postdoctoral Scientist with research experience in structural biology and biophysics, to study E3 ligases and develop novel small molecule ligands, molecular glues and PROTACs for novel E3 ligases, as part of the IMI2-funded consortium EUbOPEN.  

Relevant experience in protein expression, purification, biophysical and structural characterisation of protein- ligand and protein-protein interactions particularly by X-ray crystallography is expected.    

Experience with chemical structural biology of PROTACs / targeted protein degradation / E3 ligases would be an advantage but is not essential. 

For further details please see links below:

Closing Date  9 April 2022

The post is available for an immediate start and is fixed-term with funding currently available until 30 April 2025 in the first instance.  This term may be extendable depending on project progress and funding. Salary will depend on experience, but will be up to £40,927. 

This is a unique opportunity to join a growing team and group in an exciting new Research Centre.

I would be grateful if you could bring this opportunity to the attention of suitable candidates (PhDs or postdocs).

Kind regards,

Alessio
