英国剑桥药物发现与化学生物学博士后岗位

Post-Doctoral Research Associate: Drug Discovery and Chemical Biology
Department of Chemistry
The funds for this post are available until 28 February 2014 in the first instance.

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research position to work with Professor Chris Abell and Professor Tom Blundell (Department of Biochemistry) that will use fragment-based approaches to discover molecules that inhibit enzymes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (see Angew. Chemie Intl. Ed. 2009, 48, 8452-8456 for an example of our work). The project will involve the synthesis of enzyme inhibitors using fragment-based approaches, and is part of a larger drug discovery initiative.

Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in organic chemistry. Proven expertise in synthetic organic chemistry is essential; some knowledge of enzymology and drug discovery would be advantageous.

The position is available immediately. Applications should include a CV, publications list, contact details for three professional referees, and a completed form CHRIS /6 Parts I and III (downloadable from http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/ ), and should be sent to Dr Katherine Abell, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1EW (e-mail: ka204@cam.ac.uk ).
