Doctoral Marie Curie Fellow: Accelerating Enzyme Evolution for Chemical Development: Intelligent Navigation of the Sequence Space - 3-year fixed term contract

Location: The Discovery Centre, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, UK

Salary: £40,000 gross (subject to deductions in line with UK policy) plus benefit fund and bonus.

Purpose of the role: A doctoral position is available for 3 years to work with AstraZeneca (Pharmaceutical Sciences, Early Chemical Development, Biocatalysis Team) and Professor Florian Hollfelder at the Biochemistry Department of Cambridge University. We are currently seeking to recruit a doctoral candidate to help accelerate enzyme discovery for biocatalytic applications. Even with advanced tools, directed evolution timelines often remain slower than increasingly rapid compound manufacturing campaigns and faster workflows are needed to find efficient enzymes for sustainable chemical processes and ultima...
