Senior Research Scientist, Protein Degradation and Cancer

5 days ago


Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, United Kingdom The Institute of Cancer Research Full time

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Research Scientist to join our Centre for Protein Degradation, a part of the Institute of Cancer Research's Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery. The successful candidate will be working in a multidisciplinary team to deliver biology aspects of our projects, focusing on target validation and discovery of novel molecular glue and PROTAC targets for challenging oncology indications.

Key Requirements

  • A PhD in biology or biochemistry with a solid background in cancer cell biology and hands-on experience with in vitro genetic manipulation techniques applicable for target validation and interrogation of cell signalling pathways.
  • Experience in targeted protein degradation, biochemical and pharmacology assays would be an additional advantage.

Department Information

The Centre for Protein Degradation is a leading research group specialising in developing novel drug modalities that re-wire tumour cells' signalling by targeted degradation of key oncogenic drivers. Our experienced biologists work closely with medicinal chemists, biophysicists, computational scientists and oncology specialists on expanding the repertoire of novel degradable drug targets and E3 ligases, identifying drugs using innovative screening platforms and characterising their mechanisms of action.

We encourage all applicants to look at the attached job pack for more detailed information about this role. For an informal discussion about the role, please feel free to contact Dr Agnieszka Konopacka, Group Leader, Induced Proximity Therapeutics, via email: Agnieszka.Konopacka@icr.ac.uk.
