CDD is a major cross-faculty initiative bringing together chemists, biologists, data scientists and engineers to accelerate drug discovery through innovation in synthesis, screening, computation and translation. The Centre will focus on emerging modalities and enabling technologies from cyclic small molecules, peptides, antibodies and macrocycles, exploring new 3D chemical space to AI-guided synthesis, flow automation and direct-to-biology screening. By integrating Bath's strengths in synthetic chemistry, chemical and structural biology and advanced delivery science, the CDD will offer a distinctive environment for developing next-generation molecular tools and therapeutic leads. About you: Demonstrate inclusive leadership and a commitment to fostering a diverse research environment Have a strong track record of internationally recognised research in drug discovery Are passionate about collaboration across disciplines and sectors Can mentor and support researchers at all career stages, including Bath Prize Fellows Engage with industry and innovation networks to translate discoveries into real-world impact Can teach aspects of drug discovery in both lectures and laboratory classes and contribute to our PGT course on Drug Discovery (joint between the departments of Chemistry and Life Sciences), maintaining the University's high standards in teaching and learning, and its inclusive and supportive learning environment While we encourage applications from a range of backgrounds, we particularly welcome candidates whose research aligns with one or more of the following areas: Medicinal chemistry for emerging modalities such as peptides, molecular glues, PROTACs, ADCs or covalent inhibitors Innovative screening approaches, e.g. DNA-encoded libraries, affinity-selection mass spectrometry, chemoproteomics or AI/ML-driven virtual screening Computational drug discovery, including molecular design, macrocycle conformations, docking, or predictive models for permeability and pharmacokinetics About Drug Discovery at Bath Drug discovery at Bath is driven by close integration between the Departments of Life Sciences and Chemistry, uniting expertise in peptide design, synthetic chemistry, chemoproteomics and computational modelling.
