*Senior Scientist, Protein Crystallography* *Cambridge, UK* *Competitive salary & benefits* *Make a more meaningful impact to patients' lives around the globe* Here you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to patients' lives. With science at its heart, this is the place where breakthroughs born in the lab become transformative medicines - for the world's most complex diseases. Answer unmet medical needs by pioneering the next wave of science, focusing on outcomes and shaping the patient ecosystem. With our ground-breaking pipeline, the outlook is bright. Be proud to be part of a place that has achieved so much yet is still moving forward. There's no better time to join our global, growing enterprise as we lead the way for healthcare and society! At AstraZeneca, we operate in over 100 countries and our medicines are used by millions of patients worldwide. We employ around 50,000 people and conduct R&D across 3 continents. Our expertise spans the entire lifecycle of a medicine and we have capabilities in both small molecules and biologics. This allows us to search for solutions to unmet medical needs using both modalities, individually or, in combination. We focus our research in Oncology, Respiration & Inflammation and Cardiovascular & Metabolic disease therapy areas. Our mission is to push the boundaries of science to deliver life changing medicines. *What you'll do* This is an opportunity for a talented scientist with expertise in protein crystallography to play an influential role in drug discovery projects within AstraZeneca in Cambridge UK. You will collaborate with other structural biologists, biophysicists, protein scientists, bio-scientists, and chemists in cancer drug discovery. Working collaboratively in project teams you will help find and develop high-quality lead compounds leading to clinical candidate drugs. With a strong background and interest in protein crystallography, you will develop crystal systems enabling iterative structure-based drug design programs, fragment-based lead discovery, and the determination of inhibitor mechanism. You will support multiple crystallography projects in parallel, delivering and interpreting liganded protein structures to project team chemists, providing insight for drug design. You will work closely with other crystallographers as part of a dynamic team environment. You will publish your high impact science in internationally recognised journals. You will contribute towards the development of the protein structure and biophysics discipline by identifying and driving improvements and innovations that advance drug discovery projects. Outstanding communication skills and experience of multidisciplinary team working are highly valued. The role requires personal drive, result focus and a passion to understand the needs of the project and disease area to achieve outstanding results. *As a senior scientist you will:* * Collaborate to shape project strategy and planning * Perform crystallization screening of proteins, protein ligands complexes, biological macromolecules and biological macromolecule complexes * Collect X-ray data using a number of synchrotron beamlines * Perform 'in crystal' fragment screens and support biophysical fragment screen, HTS read out, and other hit finding strategies with liganded protein complex structure determination * Use protein ligand complex information to inform drug design * Identify improvements and innovations in crystallization techniques * Supervise students and postdocs * Work collaboratively as part of a highly effective team to ensure delivery of quality leads for projects. *Essential criteria* * Ph.D / MPhil or comparable in Chemistry, Biophysics, Biochemistry or a related discipline or extensive demonstrable experience in a similar role * Strong core skill base in macromolecular crystallization, X-ray diffraction data collection, structure solution and refinement * Experience with crystallization robotics and databases * Knowledgeable in protein handling, preparing ligand complexes and characterization methods * A good understanding of how protein structure relates to protein function. *Desirable criteria* * An exposure to the drug discovery environment where structural and biophysical studies are used to drive medicinal chemistry is desirable, but not crucial * Experience in related areas such as protein science, and biophysics will also be valuable At AstraZeneca, we're dedicated to being a Great Place to Work. Where you are empowered to push the boundaries of science and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit. There's no better place to make a difference to medicine, patients and society. An inclusive culture that champions diversity and collaboration.
