POSITION SUMMARY
Please note that there are multiple Post Doc opportunities available!
Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company is renewing our Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program in the rapidly advancing area of Protein Homeostasis. Following on the success of the first-in-class proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib (VELCADE), for the treatment of cancer, the initiation of this program presents a unique opportunity to join one of the industry’s leading multidisciplinary research groups in the field.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
We’re looking for highly talented and motivated PhDs in the research areas of biochemistry or molecular, cellular and in vivo biology to participate in this exciting program. Research will focus on key biological questions to help define the role of Protein Homeostasis in cancer. Fellows will integrate closely with the Discovery organization and have a real opportunity to learn the science of drug-discovery. They will be encouraged to present their findings at major scientific meetings and will be expected to publish in leading peer-reviewed journals.
Fellows will work in state of the art facilities with access to cutting edge biology reagents and technologies.
QUALIFICATIONS
Successful candidates will have recently received their PhD or have completed 2 to 3 years of post-doctoral studies. Experience in the area of protein homeostasis is an advantage although candidates from other scientific backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
