Senior Research Scientist / Platform Innovation

Deadline 31/07/2026

Deadline 31/07/2026 Centre / Institution: ALLOX

ALLOX is seeking a highly motivated and adaptable individual to join our dynamic team as a Senior Research Scientist. In this pivotal role, you will drive research and innovation to expand ALLOX’s functional hotspot mapping technology and drug discovery in three key ways: (1) expanding the capabilities of the ALLOX’s Platform with additional cellular/biophysical assays, (2) optimizing and automating current Platform activities to increase throughput, and (3) accelerating hit discovery, prioritisation and validation (peptide/small molecule screening).

The ideal candidate will possess a hybrid skill set with extensive molecular and cell biology expertise, experience with high-throughput screening and multiplexed assays, and computational skills to analyse sequencing data, enabling them to spearhead the development of new experimental methodologies. Regular communication and collaboration with other wet lab staff, computational, and leadership teams will be crucial, making this position ideal for an organised thinker, multitasker, problem-solver, and proactive team player.

If you share our sense of urgency to bring novel and better drugs to meet unmet needs and thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, don’t hesitate. Join ALLOX and help us make our mission a reality!
