Peter Cossar

The Cossar Labs at the Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation (CeTPD), University of Dundee, is offering an exciting PhD opportunity as part of the EastBio DTP. The project, titled "Decoding the Bystander Effect in Protein Complex Degradation," is based in the School of Life Sciences and focuses on innovative research at the interface of chemistry and biology. Applicants with backgrounds in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and/or biophysics are encouraged to apply. The research environment is world-leading, with a strong emphasis on targeted protein degradation and drug discovery. The application deadline is 15 December 2025. While the post does not specify funding details, EastBio DTP projects are typically fully funded. Interested candidates should be passionate and motivated to contribute to cutting-edge science.

The Cossar Group at the University of Dundee’s Centre for Targeted Protein Degradation (CeTPD) is offering a fully funded 4-year PhD position starting November 2025. The research focuses on chemical biology and organic synthesis, specifically developing new strategies to modulate intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) complexes using molecular glues and fragment-based drug discovery. The successful candidate will work at the interface of synthetic chemistry, molecular biophysics, and structural biology in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities. The University of Dundee is recognized as a leading UK institution for biological sciences and research impact. Applicants should have a background in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related discipline and be motivated by drug discovery and interdisciplinary science. Funding is fully provided for four years, covering stipend and tuition. Interested candidates should apply via the provided link and ensure they meet the background requirements.
