描述

职位描述:

We are currently seeking an experienced scientist with or without managing capabilities to join our growing protein crystallography team based in Suzhou, China.

In close collaboration with the various groups of Protein Science Platform at WuXi AppTec, we work on structural biology projects covering a wide variety of target classes to support our clients' diverse research projects.

Your main responsibilities will include the characterization and crystallization of protein-ligand complexes of both established and new targets, developing strategies for the optimization of protein crystals and performing data collection and structure determination.

• To solve protein structures using X-ray crystallography technique to inform the interaction mode of compounds
• To help guide the production of suitable protein for structural studies by working closely with Protein Science colleagues
• Facilitate internal collaborations to address issues related to accessing certain protein families for structural work
• Effectively coordinate and communicate timely results through presentations, e-mails and reports

任职资格:

• PhD in a structural biology with 1-5 years of postdoctoral/industrial experience in small molecule drug discovery (for Director-level, more experiences are preferred)
• (Director-level): demonstrated accountability, management experiences, skills with accomplished milestones are required.
