Dear EBSA mailing list - please could you share the following postdoc opportunity. Thanks in advance
Andy

Research Fellow in Chemical Biology

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in chemical biology in its broadest sense? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive universities?

As Research Fellow in Chemical Biology you will join a BBSRC-funded team focused on developing and exploiting new tools to understand and perturb protein-protein interactions (PPIs) involving intrinsically disordered regions. You will assist the Investigators in delivering this large research programme by focussing on the design and synthesis of small-molecule chemical probes for disease relevant PPIs, with considerable emphasis on targets in oncology.

The post is associated with a major ?5.4 million five-year collaborative research programme led by Professor Andy Wilson<https://wilson.leeds.ac.uk/>, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)<https://bbsrc.ukri.org/>, and bringing together the University of Leeds<http://www.leeds.ac.uk/>, the University of Oxford<https://www.ox.ac.uk/>, and project partners, AstraZeneca<https://www.astrazeneca.co.uk/> and LifeArc<https://www.lifearc.org/>. This large and diverse programme focuses on Deciphering the function of intrinsically disordered protein regions in a cellular context using The Aurora A kinase (Aurora A) as a target. Aurora A represents a key potential target for anticancer therapeutics development and plays a fundamental role in regulating cell division.The specific purposes of the role are to (i) develop reagents capable of inhibiting the interactions of Aurora A, (ii) use proteomics methods to dissect the cellular interactome of Aurora A.

You will be part of a large team based in The Wilson<https://wilson.leeds.ac.uk/>, and The Wright<https://wright.leeds.ac.uk/> groups in the School of Chemistry<https://physicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/info/4/school_of_chemistry> and the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology<http://www.astbury.leeds.ac.uk/research/facilities.php> with access to a superb infrastructure for research in chemical biology, including synthetic laboratories, NMR equipment, X-ray crystallographic, mass spectrometry and biophysical techniques, together with state of the art online resources.

You will have a PhD (or have submitted your thesis prior to starting) in an area appropriate to the project, along with extensive knowledge of chemical proteomics and/or chemical probe development.
