Eisai is one of the world's leading research and development (R&D) based pharmaceutical companies. Eisai defines its corporate mission as "giving first thought to patients and their families and to increasing the benefits health care provides," its human health care (hhc) philosophy.

Eisai concentrates its R&D activities in three key areas:

- Neuroscience, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, pain and weight loss
- Oncology, including anticancer therapies; tumour regression, tumour suppression, antibodies, etc.
- Vascular/Immunological reaction including thrombocytopenia, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease

**UCL-Eisai Collaboration**

UCL has a major collaboration with Eisai, one of the world's leading research and development (R&D) based pharmaceutical companies. The UCL-Eisai collaboration aims to discover and develop novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other related neurodegenerative disorders. The alliance brings together the strengths of both organizations: UCL providing its world-class early-stage translational research and Eisai providing its drug discovery and development expertise.

**About the role**:
Being ideally positioned between world-class early-stage translational research and cutting-edge drug development, the post-holder will have the unique opportunity to work collaboratively with the **TIG**, Principal Investigators, and scientists at both UCL and Eisai to consolidate the multi-disciplinary expertise from both organisations.

Effective delivery will depend upon the ability to plan and organise effectively and communicate with a wide range of UCL and Eisai partners. The role holder will be expected to make significant intellectual contributions to the progression of projects.

Post is funded for two years in the first instance.

**About you**:
The role requires an individual with a sound knowledge and experience of molecular and cellular biology with strong focus on neurodegeneration.

In particular, we are looking for a researcher with scientific/technical versatility and flexibility, as evidenced by hands-on experience in a variety of techniques including, for example: molecular biology and biochemistry, assay development (e.g. absorbance, fluorescence, FRET) and optimisation, cell and tissue fractionation, protein purification, bacterial transformation, cell culture systems and disease models, transfections and viral transductions, luciferase assays and other reporter-based reads, western-blotting and fluorescence microscopy.

The post-holder will work closely with colleagues in the TIG, the UCL Translational Research Office (TRO), Principal Investigators from across UCL, and scientists at Eisai.

**What we offer**:
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

- 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
- Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme
