Medicinal Chemistry Research Assistant

Salary Range: £34,866

FTE: 1

Contract Type: Fixed Term (1 year)

The Research Assistant, alongside PhD and other PDRA workers assigned to the project will design and enable the synthesis of novel small molecule inhibitors of the Androgen Receptor. This will require a thorough grounding in synthetic organic chemistry, allied with experience of array synthesis approaches, as well as associated purification and analysis techniques. From consideration of biological data generated by programme team colleagues, the PDRA (with input from the PI) will lead on the design and synthesis of new compounds which meet agreed lead candidate criteria. Direct experience of academic or industrial medicinal chemistry is an advantage but not considered essential. The PDRA is expected also to engage in knowledge exchange processes with Aberdeen colleagues and other external partners as appropriate, as well as assisting in the administrative duties associated with the group of Prof Jamieson at the University of Strathclyde.
