Location : Glasgow and Oxford –
Two Year Fixed Contract Glox Therapeutics is developing precision protein antibiotics to target bacterial pathogens that show high levels of resistance to conventional antibiotics due to the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR is a major global public health crisis predicted to cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050 at a cost of $100 trillion unless new classes of antibiotics are developed. Glox Therapeutics' novel engineered protein bacteriocin antibiotics are designed to precisely target pathogenic bacteria without collateral damage to the microbiome. Maintenance of a healthy microbiome is essential to prevent AMR due to the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. We are currently seeking a highly motivated and capable Senior Scientist with a proven track record of productivity, excellent communication skills, collaboration, and an enthusiasm to work with our existing dynamic teams in both Glasgow and Oxford. Your motivation and attention to detail will augment your ability to work collaboratively.
Please note, this is a Two-year fixed contract. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-growing business focused on precision medicine within the AMR space. Main Duties and Responsibilities
As a Senior Scientist, you will have extensive experience in protein engineering, production, and characterization. You will work with the existing Glox Therapeutics R&D team in Glasgow and Oxford to design, produce, characterize, and test new bacteriocin antibiotics using our proprietary engineering strategies. PhD or equivalent experience in microbiology or a relevant subject Significant scientific knowledge in microbiology and molecular biology Experience in protein engineering, production, and characterization Excellent communication skills both written and oral Ability to work on own initiative and in a team environment Experience and/or a passion to work in a start-up environment would be a bonus Experience of
in vitro
and
in vivo
infection models Previous experience in antibiotic research and development Record of publications in the field If you feel you have what it takes to join our vibrant company, then we would love to hear from you. Please forward your CV and a covering letter to
