£ Competitive salary and benefits

SRG are currently working very closely with a unique, growing biotechnology company committed to developing next generation vaccines with novel methods of delivery. Their ground-breaking technology is aimed at producing self-administered, thermally stable vaccines that can be widely distributed by mail. Due to continued expansion, they are looking to bring onboard a Senior Molecular Virologist who will be working with a small team of research scientists in a discovery setting. This is a very exciting opportunity to join an innovative biotechnology company and work with highly specialised, knowledgeable scientists at the forefront of discovery science.

Key responsibilities:

  • Conduct experimental work aimed at growing and purifying viral vectors using a variety of mammalian tissue culture and virus purification techniques
  • Investigate viral attributes and characterise wild-type viruses, both in vitro and in vivo, using a variety of virology techniques
  • Develop novel bioassays aimed at testing the biological, immunological, and biochemical attributes of vaccine candidates
  • Troubleshoot new assays and techniques, as needed
  • Investigate host pathogen interactions and the immune mechanisms of protection induced by vaccines, using molecular virology research techniques
  • Maintain awareness of developments in the field and be pro-active at introducing new techniques and capabilities into the team and wider organisation
  • Prepare written reports and present data for audiences inside and outside the company
  • Contribute to Analytical and Preclinical sections of CTA/IND submissions, Investigator Brochures, IMPDs, briefing packages for regulatory meetings

Key skills and experience:

  • PhD in Virology, Microbiology, or related discipline and 2 years’ postdoctoral experience, or equivalent industrial experience.
  • Strong understanding of viruses and viral infection. Experience working with animal/human viruses is essential.
  • Excellent understanding of laboratory techniques for handling and working with viruses (including expansion in cell culture), acquired through working with pathogens or genetically modified viral vectors.
  • Proven experience in developing assays in relevant virological, molecular, and serological techniques (i.e. virus propagation and titration, RT-qPCR, ELISA, serum neutralisation assays).
  • Proven experience working with viruses in the areas of gene therapy, vaccine or anti-viral product development is desirable.
  • It is desirable to have experience in the propagation and purification of viruses in the context of product development.
  • Be an independent, creative, and highly skilful independent laboratory worker.
  • Able to maintain a disciplined approach to research.
