We are looking for an outstanding "Structural Biologist/Protein Biochemist" for our group at Heptares Therapeutics Ltd.
Heptares is a Drug Discovery Company located in Hertfordshire UK, working on G protein coupled receptors involved in CNS and metabolic disease. We are using a unique structure based approach, which originated from work at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, to characterise this important family of receptors and develop novel innovative therapeutics for these diseases. We are now seeking enthusiastic and motivated scientists with experience in the expression, purification and crystallisation of proteins to assist Heptares in obtaining unique structures of GPCRs for drug discovery. This is an exceptional opportunity to participate in pioneering science whilst helping to grow an Industry-leading Drug Discovery company. Applicants should have a PhD and post-graduate experience in a research environment. Candidates should be familiar with protein expression and purification in a variety of expression systems such as E.coli, baculovirus and mammalian cells. We also wish to recruit candidates with experience in protein crystallisation who are interested in following proteins through purification to structural studies. Previous experience of working with GPCRs or other membrane proteins would be an advantage. Experience of working in a drug discovery environment where structural studies are used to drive medicinal chemistry would also be of benefit.
