About this position

Cardiff University’s Medicines Discovery Institute is recruiting a fully funded PhD student in Medicinal Chemistry and Synthetic Organic Chemistry to work on a cutting-edge drug discovery project targeting the HPV E7 oncoprotein.

The project focuses on developing first-in-class PROTAC degraders and combines PROTAC design, multistep organic synthesis, small-molecule purification and characterisation, computational drug design, and cancer biology. The successful candidate will gain experience in modern drug discovery workflows, including hit optimisation, PROTAC synthesis, structure-based design, and biological evaluation with cancer immunology collaborators.

This opportunity is aimed at applicants with a strong hands-on background in medicinal chemistry or synthetic organic chemistry. The post explicitly states that candidates whose main training is in biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, or biomedical sciences without substantial synthetic organic chemistry experience are unlikely to be suitable.

Institution: Cardiff University, Medicines Discovery Institute, United Kingdom.

Funding: Fully funded PhD studentship.

Application: Follow the Cardiff University postgraduate application link provided in the post and review the project/application information before applying.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
