Job Title: Senior Scientist/Scientific Investigator

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Scientist/Scientific Investigator to join our Respiratory and Immunology Research Unit (RIRU) at GlaxoSmithKline. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and delivering advanced biology assays to address key biological questions needed to progress respiratory drug discovery programs across disease indications.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and implement respiratory-relevant cell-based assays to evaluate the function of potential drug targets in disease-relevant cells.
  • Troubleshoot technical problems relevant to experimental study execution.
  • Write protocols, design and execute biology-focused experimental studies, applying advanced data analysis, interpreting data, compiling reports and communicating findings to project teams.
  • Build the biological rationale and generate scientific hypotheses to inform experimental design and approaches to support both new target work packages and later-stage assets within the respiratory portfolio.
  • Work collaboratively in a matrix team and within a cross-functional environment to develop and carry out selected experiments to address key biological questions aligned to project goals within agreed timelines.
  • Evaluate potential new targets via in silico-based approaches.
  • Maintain a high level of documentation for all experimental work aligned with data integrity expectations.
Requirements:
  • PhD or equivalent experience in Respiratory Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, and/or Immunology.
  • Proficiency in designing, executing and interpreting experimental studies across a wide range of laboratory techniques gained from working in industrial or academic research environments.
  • Experience of standard laboratory techniques, including cell culture, optimisation and execution of cell-based assays, molecular biology, RNA isolation, RT-qPCR analysis, protein analysis, imaging and flow cytometric techniques.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively present scientific findings to multidisciplinary internal and external stakeholders in a balanced, clear, and precise manner.
  • Proven ability to balance priorities across multiple objectives, meeting timelines while maintaining attention to detail and high-performance standards.
  • Experience with data analysis software and knowledge of statistical analysis methodology and bioinformatics tools.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Prior experience with establishing disease-relevant in vitro models of respiratory disease or in respiratory biology such as human bronchial epithelial culture.
  • Good understanding of drug discovery, ability to influence project direction by interpreting results outside area of expertise.
  • Track record of scientific innovation as evidenced by effective support of drug discovery projects, peer-reviewed publications, conferences, reports or patents.

We offer a competitive salary, an annual bonus based on company performance, healthcare and wellbeing programmes, pension plan membership, and shares and savings programme. We create a place where people can grow, be their best, be safe, and feel welcome, valued and included.
