Title: Protein Crystallographer Position at Nerviano Medical Sciences (Milan, Italy)
Nerviano Medical Sciences, a leading pharmaceutical research organization in oncology, has an immediate opening in the Structural Chemistry Group for an experienced protein crystallographer. Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent degree) and at least two years of post-doctoral experience. The person will provide x-ray crystallography support to 'small molecule' drug discovery by solving structures of protein-ligand complexes for structure-based drug design. The position requires a broad background in protein crystallography and a solid understanding of biophysics and its application alongside structure delivery and exploitation in drug discovery projects. Specifically, the required skills include the ability to design protein constructs for crystallization trials; protein crystallization using various techniques; data collection using a laboratory source (and at the synchrotron); structure determination by molecular replacement, MIR and MAD; computing experience with a variety of crystallographic programs; the ability to interpret and communicate structural information. Previous experience in the pharmaceutical industry and in fragment based drug discovery would be strongly valued. Excellent communication and teamwork skills are required as the position opens opportunities to assume leadership responsibilities within our multidisciplinary operations. Ability to work simultaneously on multiple projects and to comply with agreed priorities is a must. Significant contributions to shape and advance the influence of structure elucidations on drug discovery projects are expected.
