Application deadline: 01 Sep 2026
We are looking for a Structural Biologist who is collaborative, curious, and innovative to join us in our Characterization and Material Sciences team, based in Slough, United Kingdom.
About The Role
As a Structural Biologist, you will apply computational and biophysical approaches to support the development of innovative therapies. You will use molecular modelling and predictive techniques to characterize proteins, peptides, polymers, and small molecules, helping to accelerate development from early research through to commercialization. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, contribute to scientific investigations, and support data-driven decision-making across development programs.
Who You'll Work With
You will be working in a team of experienced scientists within the Characterization and Material Sciences department. The team specializes in understanding the structure, function, and stability of therapeutic molecules using advanced analytical and computational techniques. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across formulation, analytical sciences, drug substance, drug product, and research functions, as well as academic and external partners across the United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland, and the United States.
