Job Skills: Biology
We are seeking an innovative and dynamic geneticist with a passion to draw on human genetics evidence to identify the next generation of new drugs to meet global medical needs. Target Sciences, led by Lon Cardon, aims to improve the number of successful late stage clinical trials by identifying and advancing drug targets with strong evidence of their role in disease biology. The team builds on major scientific and technology advances, breakthrough understanding of biological pathways, genomics and genetics, rapid progress in gene editing, informatics and the emergence of large scale human health databases. In addition Target Sciences has recently established two key strategic relationships: the Center for Therapeutic Target Validation (CTTV) in the UK and the Altius Institute for Biomedical Sciences in the US.

Successful candidates will work in a multidisciplinary, collaborative and scientifically driven environment, interacting with key academic collaborators and GSK scientists to advance drug discovery and clinical development in multiple therapeutic areas. This field-leading research addresses important drug discovery and development challenges, directly impacts GSK’s R&D pipeline, and publishes results in top scientific journals. These posts may be based at either the South-East England (Stevenage) or Philadelphia (Collegeville and King of Prussia) R&D sites. [More]

The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) invites applications and nominations for the Director of the Human and Molecular Genetics Center (HMGC). Established in 1999, the Center enables researchers and clinicians to obtain and analyze genomic sequences to understand disease, improve diagnosis, and provide treatments to patients. This is an exciting opportunity for a distinguished scientist to build upon the Center's success as a leader in the application of genetics and genomics sequencing, bioinformatics, genome editing, and development of genetic models of human disease. The Center Director will help to position the Center for continued success in discoveries that will impact the health and treatments of patients and their families. Reporting to the Dean of the School of Medicine & Executive Vice President, the successful candidate will bring a keen knowledge of business and technology as well as a strong service orientation to inspire innovation and collaboration across clinical and basic science disciplines.

Karolinska Institutet is one of the world´s leading medical universities. Its mission is to contribute to the improvement of human health through research and education. Karolinska Institutet accounts for over 40 per cent of the medical academic research conducted in Sweden and offers the country´s broadest range of education in medicine and health sciences. Since 1901 the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has selected the Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine. The Department of Laboratory Medicine consists of 9 divisions and is active in many areas of Laboratory Medicine. The department is involved in advanced basic scientific, clinical and epidemiological research. The department is one of the largest departments of education at Karolinska Institutet. Division The Division of Clinical Immunology conducts research on several aspects of human immunology with a strong focus on developmental immunology, immunotherapy and pathologies associated with the immune system.

The research focuses on CNS pathologies such as obesity, anorexia, craving, depression and anxiety from both molecular and clinical perspective. We aim to understand broad range of CNS pathologies using molecular biology, behavioural and pharmacological methods. We are interested in candidates with strong background in at least one of the following fields; human genetics/epigenetics, human clinical studies, drosophilia genetics, neuroanatomy or bioinformatics. Our interest is restricted because of funding reasons to post doctoral fellows with 1) PhD from Europe, America or Japan, 2) PhD degree within three years, 3) a record of published papers in highly rated international journals (at least three first name papers).
