At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.   

We have an exciting opportunity for two Senior Scientists in small molecule protein sciences to join Cancer Research Horizons in our Glasgow lab. You’ll lead the expression, purification and QC of protein antigens and related molecules, all of which play a critical role in driving our screening and crystallography programmes.  

Working primarily across bacterial and insect systems, you’ll deliver high quality, well characterised proteins using a range of biochemical and biophysical methods. You’ll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary drug discovery teams, communicate insights clearly, drive strategic decisions, innovate across the existing pipeline, bring strong scientific leadership the team, and help ensure a safe, efficient lab environment.  

We’re looking for candidates with a PhD (or equivalent experience) in Molecular/Protein Sciences, Chemistry with substantial drug discovery experience, with strong protein production, purification, analytics, and molecular biology expertise. This is a high impact role that advances our discoveries. If you're adaptable, driven, and ready to make a scientific impact, this is your chance to contribute. Every role at CRH is united by a single mission: beating cancer sooner. We carry out work that matters - impacting patients, families, and the future of science.
