Our team includes driven and passionate scientists and experts in cell and molecular biology, chemistry, nanotechnology, and cell/gene therapy from several research institutions including the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University College London, Stanford University and King’s College London. We regularly update our immediate hiring needs, however, the 3 positions listed on the website include positions we continuously seek exceptional candidates for.

Senior Scientist, Nanoparticle Chemist
King’s Cross, London, UK
The position

We are currently looking to hire a postdoctoral level, senior scientist with experience in synthesising different nanoparticle formulations, along with functionalising these nanoparticle formulations. This position will involve leading research projects of core importance to our overall work. You will be working with a highly multi-disciplinary team, and will be required to collaborate extensively with other team members and also think critically and independently to move our technology development forward.

Key Responsibilities
  • Leading the effort in determining nanoparticle compositions, synthesise, and characterise different formulations.
  • Optimise formulations to adequately protect reagents during lyophilization, and enhance payload encapsulation.
  • Functionalise nanoparticles with different targeting ligands, and optimise these conditions for specific cell types.
  • Characterise and screen different targeting ligands.
  • Execute development, verification and stability studies to ensure stability of these formulations over varying periods of times.
  • Maintain and operate the analytical chemistry instrumentation to measure properties of these nanoparticle formulations.
  • Execute experiments with in vitro assay development to determine the ligand attachment, delivery of nanoparticles, uptake of nanoparticles by different cells, and adapt protocols as required.
  • Hire and mentor additions to the team as we grow.
Required Qualifications
  • PhD in chemistry, or nanotechnology or associated field,
  • 2+ years of relevant research post-PhD experience in an industry or academic setting, with a focus on designing nanomaterials for biomedical applications.
  • Experience with nanoparticle conjugations and functionalization strategies.
  • Proficiency in using analytical techniques like HPLC, gel electrophoresis, DLS, electron microscopy, freeze dry microscopes.
  • Demonstrated expertise in novel assay development.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience in nanoparticle based drug development and/or platform development.
  • Experience with genomics and molecular biology techniques and applications
  • Proficiency in communication, presentation, data analysis, and interpretation
  • Highly motivated and detail-oriented with the ability to think creatively towards efficient problem solving.
  • A strong foundation in experimental documentation, basic statistical analysis and data presentations.
