The Division of Signal Transduction Therapy (DSTT) is a unique collaboration between scientists in the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit and the College of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee, and six of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. The DSTT is dedicated to accelerating the development of specific inhibitors of signal transduction for the treatment of disease, as well as the study of cell signaling. It involves 17 laboratories comprising approximately 200 scientific and support staff and is one of the world's largest ever collaborations between the pharmaceutical industry and an academic centre.
We currently have several postdoc vacancies to work on important collaborative projects between our PIs and specific DSTT companies. These projects would be for from 3 months up to 1 year in the first instance, at the University of Dundee Grade 7 (£29,249 - £35,938).
These projects might suit any researcher coming to the end of their current PhD or postdoc position and looking to gain some additional research experience. You would forge links with the pharmaceutical companies we interact with and gain the opportunity of learning more about company research and what it might be like to work for a company in the future. There could also be the possibility of extending contracts for longer periods
Anyone interested in learning more about this opportunity please email Dario Alessi (d.r.alessi@dundee.ac.uk) and Rob Ford (r.p.ford@dundee.ac.uk) with a brief letter outlining your previous research experience and indicate the date you could in principal embark on this project. Also include an up to date CV. Please feel free to contact Dario or Rob to learn more about these positions if you are interested.
These are varied positions involving different technologies and labs within the MRC-PPU. You would also collaborate and interact with one or more of the pharmaceutical companies that support the DSTT. Expertise in biochemistry, signal transduction, cell culture, immunoblot analysis would be advantageous but we would of course provide training in any new techniques or methodologies required for the project.
