Do you have experience in cell biology? Are you passionate about research and interested in drug discovery? If so, we'd welcome an application from you.
Prof Michelle Garrett is looking for a Research Associate to undertake cell biology work supervised by her as part of a three year Medical Research Council (MRC) funded project entitled "Phosphoestamers: A new technology platform to block protein-protein interactions in the cell". This project is a collaboration with Dr Christopher Serpell at University College London (UCL), that aims to use the novel phosphoestamer technology, which we have recently published on to develop inhibitors of protein-protein interaction (PPI) for three structurally distinct cancer drug targets (https://doi.org/10.1039/D4SC07218A).
Responsibilities
* Delivering the research objectives of the MRC grant entitled "Phosphoestamers: A new technology platform to block protein-protein interactions in the cell".
* Organising and managing a programme of laboratory work with reference to the research project work‑plan, deliverables and milestones, outlined in the grant.
* Carrying out the research as documented in the proposal, following a research plan agreed with the project principal investigator, in order to deliver the specific aims of the grant.
Qualifications
* PhD degree awarded/to be awarded in a relevant area of cell biology or related field.
* Extensive practical experience in cell biology.
* Experience in summarising and presenting results.
The University of Kent values diversity and equality at all levels.
