About this position

?? Funded PhD Opportunity | Chemical Biology & Organic Synthesis ??

The Cossar Group at the University of Dundee’s Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation (CeTPD) is recruiting! We’re looking for a highly motivated and curious researcher to join us for a fully funded 4-year PhD starting 1st November 2025.
Our lab is pushing the boundaries of molecular glues and fragment-based drug discovery to target currently “undruggable” protein complexes – especially those involving intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). You'll work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities at CeTPD, a world-leading hub at the forefront of this rapidly advancing field.

?? What you’ll do:
• Develop new chemical biology strategies to modulate IDP complexes
• Work at the interface of synthetic chemistry, molecular biophysics, and structural biology

?? Based at the University of Dundee, consistently ranked among the top UK institutions for biological sciences and research impact.
?? This position is ideal for candidates with a background in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related discipline who are excited by drug discovery and interdisciplinary science.

?? Interested? Apply here ?? https://lnkd.in/exSdF_cT
