NUCLEOME THERAPEUTICS, a fast-emerging biopharma that is building a passionate, creative, and dedicated multi-disciplinary team of scientists with expertise in gene regulation, genomics, machine learning, drug discovery, data analysis and software development, whose mission is to decode and mine the regulatory “dark matter” of the human genome to transform drug target discovery and deliver first-in-class precision medicine for autoimmune diseases. We are building a rewarding and fun environment where people embrace creative ways of thinking, take smart risks, and feel empowered to make a difference.
We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Team leader with expertise in cellular pharmacology, a self-starter, who would thrive in the dynamic environment of a growing biotechnology company. The position has a strong focus on team management and leadership, and the successful candidate will be responsible for the in vitro cellular pharmacology function within the drug discovery team. You will use your extensive experience in people management to build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of cellular biologists, managing all aspects of their performance management, objective setting, recruitment, and career development. The cellular pharmacology function will undertake primary and secondary cellular assay development, with a focus on immunological disease and on both biologics and small molecule drug discovery. The team will also provide matrix team support to deliver biological validation data in addition to cellular drug screening assays across multiple asset programmes. Working together with the target validation principal scientist, you will provide expertise and team leadership to support asset programmes as they progress through target nomination and hit identification through to pre-clinical candidate selection. You will provide critical input into internal asset programmes and play a key role in our interactions with both Industry Partners and Contract Research Organisations. You will be a role model to scientists within the team and across the company, motivating team members to realise their full potential. As an independent thinker you will plan and implement experiments, interpret the data, and distil complexity into concise communication. Working in a rapidly growing company, you’ll need a flexible mindset, with the ability to continually adapt to new challenges. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team and closely collaborate with computational and genomics scientists to guide drug target discovery efforts. You will have an integral role in the venture, take ownership of the work and demonstrate an exceptional work ethic towards discovering breakthrough medicines that will improve patients’ lives.
At Nucleome Therapeutics equality, diversity and inclusion is really important to us. We welcome applications from all candidates irrespective of age, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief, or marital or civil partnership status.
