Want to join our team?
We are recruiting 3 postdoc positions in structural biology and structure-based drug discovery
Early-to-mid career postdocs very welcome. Deadline 13 December
Research associate in rare disease drug discovery – (job ID: 11461) You will drive a structure-based drug discovery project in an academic setting, funded by LifeArc and Action Medical Research, working closely with medicinal chemists in Oxford and clinical scientists in UCL towards hit-to-lead inhibitor optimisation for a rare epileptic disorder. (Skills: crystallography, SPR, activity assays, CETSA; bit of cryo-EM)
Research associate in structure based design of cyclic peptides – (job ID: 11462) You will run an academic-industrial collaboration with Bicycle Therapeutics, towards structural and biophysical characterisation of bicyclic peptides in complex with novel therapeutic targets in immune-metabolism/oncology. (Skills: different expression approaches, crystallography, SPR; bit of cryo-EM)
Research associate in structure-based AI-assisted hit finding – (job ID: 13927) You will lead an early-stage discovery project funded by a patient foundation, towards small molecule therapy for Friedreich’s ataxia targeting a multi-protein complex. You will work closely with an AI company in hit finding, and run validation studies to guide compound design through machine learning (Skills: ITC, SPR, cryo-EM & x-ray, activity assays).
Yue lab is up and running
Meet Douglas, Thomas, and Sabrina – founding members of the Newcastle Yue lab, who are building CRISPR knock-in, cryo EM, and fragment screening capabilities for our structural biology projects.

Christmas arrived early
The time has come…
We are moving to Newcastle!
From July 2021, the Yue lab will be relocating to the Biosciences Institute, Newcastle University, after 13 fun, fruitful and fantastic years at the SGC/CMD University of Oxford. We look forward to pastures new, in the warm sunny North!
