Job description

Revolver Therapeutics is a drug discovery company based in Bath. Our mission is to develop next-generation peptide therapeutics that target transcription factors, which are key molecular pathways. Transcription Factors have traditionally been deemed “undruggable” but novel inhibitors can be identified by using our innovative peptide discovery platform, which leverages our proprietary Transcription Block Survival (TBS) assay to rapidly generate functional inhibitors. The company was spun out from the University of Bath in 2023, from the lab of Prof. Jody Mason. We are VC-backed (Future Planet Capital, o2h Ventures), and have received an Innovate UK grant to develop peptide therapeutics targeting childhood gliomas, in collaboration with the Institute of Cancer Research. This is an exciting time to join our young and dynamic team as we expand our cutting-edge peptide therapeutics technology. We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven team-player to join us. Our lab is located at the University of Bath, where we have access to all the equipment and infrastructure needed to excel in this role.

The Role

In this role, you will apply your expertise in cell biology to the drug discovery process at Revolver Therapeutics. You will play a key part in developing our in-house cell biology capabilities, facilitating the analysis and development of our peptide therapeutics. We are seeking excellent candidates with a PhD or equivalent experience in a related scientific field (e.g., cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, etc.), or someone with 1-3+ years of equivalent experimental experience. We welcome applications from ambitious individuals with an interest in translating laboratory-based research into real-world applications. As a small company, we highly value adaptability and flexibility. This job description is dynamic and may evolve based on the company’s needs.

Main Responsibilities

-Plan and conduct experiments to evaluate peptide hit efficacy in conventional 2D cell culture systems.

-Assist with various aspects of research conducted in the laboratory, as needed

-Maintain accurate records of experimental procedures and data

-Ability to work independently and as part of a team

-Proficient in planning and executing experimental work plans

-Accurate record-keeping of experimental procedures and data

-Effective communication with a wide variety of internal and external collaborators

-Ability to work to deadlines whilst maintaining scientific rigour.

-Experience in 2D cancer cell culture and relevant phenotypic and genetic assays

-Knowledge of human cell biology and oncology

-Experience of solid phase peptide synthesis and HPLC purification

-Experience of molecular biology and genetically encoded library screening

-Experience of biophysical characterisation of protein interactions (e.g. ITC, FP)

-Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary team in an early-stage company

-Experience collaborating with external partners and CROs

-Experience in an industrial drug discovery environment

-A degree in a related scientific field (e.g. cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc.)

-PhD or a Master’s or a BSc with equivalent experimental experience
