Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to help establish a new Protein Screening Facility at the University of Cambridge. The facility will develop novel biologic binders to benefit a wide range of users within the university. This is an exciting opportunity to develop a lead role in progressing binder technologies and be part of a collaborative network to make this facility a long-term, UK technology hub that supports follow-on structural biology, pharmacology, and therapeutic biologics projects.

The post-holder will lead the establishment of novel protein binder platforms (e.g. phage/ribosome display) for CamPSF, with encouragement to benchmark and publish outputs. Areas of further advancement could include performing machine learning of binder sequencing data, running prediction software of binder-target interactions, and strategizing new technology implementation and the design of novel experimental binder platforms. Potential guidance and mentorship support is available from all labs involved within this highly interdisciplinary project.

The successful applicant will have completed a PhD (or soon to be awarded one) and will have evidence of experience in binder display technologies, with experience in molecular biology/cloning, biophysics, protein engineering, and protein expression and purification being an advantage.

The University of Cambridge is a signatory to the San-Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and in the recruitment process will assess research on the basis of its merits rather than the journal or venue in which it is published. Applicants should not include Journal Impact Factors or uncontextualized metrics in their applications.

Appointment will be based on merit alone. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
