Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom Institute for Modern Full time

Job description:

Applications are invited for the post of Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on an exciting translational drug discovery program funded by the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation (darbyrimmermnd.co.uk) which aims to discover and develop novel small molecule drugs for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). You will join the research teams of Prof Kurt De Vos and Prof Dame Pamela Shaw based in the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN; www.sitran.org) at the University of Sheffield.

You will conduct laboratory research on a semi-independent basis under direction of Profs De Vos and Shaw and the manager of the SITraN drug discovery facility, focusing on the implementation, validation and application of a novel drug discovery assay. You will be expected to design and evaluate experiments, develop new ideas that promote current research, contribute to the preparation of scientific manuscripts, attend and give seminars. You will participate in the application for funding to support research assistants and in the supervision of graduate and undergraduate research that contributes to this project. You may be responsible for the operation of specific equipment and asked to serve on internal Institute committees.

You will have a Ph.D. in a relevant subject and a strong background in molecular and cellular neurobiology with a thorough understanding of the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and the drug discovery process. You will have experience in an array of molecular and cellular biology techniques, particularly relating to protein homeostasis. The ideal candidate will have experience in cellular assays in multi well plate format using biochemistry and high content screening. Experience of high throughput fluorescence imaging as well as good knowledge and practical experience in drug discovery, including development, implementation, validation and application of drug discovery assays, would be an advantage.

You should be strongly motivated, self-driven, able to accept direction and be an excellent team player. Good communication, written and interpersonal skills are expected.

We're one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University's Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
