We seeking anexperienced scientist specialising in HDXMS to join our MassSpectrometry team within the Protein Structure and Biophysics Groupin Slough UK. The MS team provides critical project support frominitial adoption into the portfolio through to candidate selectionof NBE and NCE therapeutics generated from our discovery platforms.Structural and mechanistic understanding of target and therapeuticmolecule interactions are driven by our department using MassSpectrometry CryoEM Xray crystallography SAXS NMR and otherbiophysical techniques. The successful candidate will have a proventrack record in the design and execution of HDXMS experiments witha contextual understanding of their results alongside otherstructural data. We require someone who can quickly integrate intoour team manage and prioritise the demands from multiple projectscommunicate clearly and will enjoy working within a highlymotivated and multidisciplinarydepartment
