We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to help create a new Protein Screening Facility based in the School of Biological Sciences at University of Cambridge. The facility will develop novel biologic binders to benefit a huge range of users within Cambridge. 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. See document link at end for more information on these groups.
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 funds for this post are available from 1st Dec 2024 with flexibility in the precise start date and continue for 36 months.
Successful candidates who have not been awarded their PhD by the appointment date will be appointed as a Research Assistant at Grade 5 (£31,396-£33,966). Upon the award of the PhD the individual will be promoted to Research Associate, Grade 7 (£36,024-£44,263).
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. For more information: Appointment will be based on merit alone.
Online or in-person interviews are anticipated to take place in Nov/Dec 2024.
