The ICR is seeking a cancer biology research leader to join us in our mission to discovery novel small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The appointee will lead an independent cancer biology research group that contributes to the overall strategy and goals of the Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery (CCDD); in particular, progression of innovative small molecule anticancer compounds to proof-of-concept clinical trials. Commitment to translational and drug discovery research is fundamental to this position. The appointee will lead and participate in multidisciplinary drug discovery projects to discover small molecule clinical candidates.
Key Requirements
The role requires application of molecular pharmacology and cancer biology approaches to 1) support hypothesis-driven target identification and validation; 2) design and implement functional and mechanistic assays to support discovery and progression of small molecule therapeutics; and 3) develop and test hypotheses regarding patient selection strategies and biomarkers. Enthusiasm for working in a collaborative interdisciplinary environment is essential. We envisage that applicants will have either commercial experience of successful drug discovery or have a strong academic track record in cancer drug discovery; or will have a combination of both backgrounds.
