• Develop recombinant protein expression in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems
• Optimise protein purification using AKTA chromatography
• Produce high-quality proteins for structural biology and biophysical studies
• Support multidisciplinary drug discovery projects
• Collaborate with internal scientists and external partners

What we're looking for:

• PhD with relevant postdoctoral or industry experience
• Strong background in recombinant protein expression and purification
• Experience with chromatographic techniques and protein characterisation e.g. AKTA
