Senior Biophysics Scientist

THE ROLE:

Our client is a Science research company, looking to expand their current team with a Senior Scientist (Biophysics). They are seeking an outstanding scientist with experience in a range of biophysical techniques to join an innovative, venture-backed start-up company. The successful applicant will become part of a multidisciplinary team that is discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.

RESPONSIBILTIES:

• Run molecular biophysical methods including using SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance), MST (Microscale thermophoresis), and ITC (Isothermal Titration Calorimetry).
• Design and develop new biophysical assays.
• Conduct research into protein-ligand interaction to support drug discovery projects.
• Work collaboratively across different disciplines including chemistry and biology.

ABOUT YOU:

• You will need to have a track record to show that you are proficient in biophysics. This should be evident on your CV through publication record, industry experience or, if junior, presented within their interview process.
• Preference would someone from a larger, more established organisation, however all candidates will be considered.
• You will be PhD or Masters qualified in a Life Science subject such as Biophysics, Biochemistry or Biology and have experience in biophysical techniques such as SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) and ITC (Isothermal Titration Calorimetry).
• Expertise in other biophysical techniques and fluorescence methods is advantageous.
• Proficiency in providing quantitative data on protein-ligand binding, including affinity, kinetics, and stoichiometry.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to effectively present complex data to diverse audiences.
• Ideally prior research experience within industry.
