Job Details
We are seeking a highly-skilled Senior Scientist with expertise in Proteomics to join Nurix's Discovery team. Nurix is devoted to unlocking the therapeutic potential of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) in oncology, immune-oncology and other therapeutic areas. The successful candidate will support Nurix's drug discovery program and play a leading role in building and implementing proteomics capabilities.
This individual will work closely with an experienced team of interdisciplinary scientists and will have regular opportunities to present findings and opinions to project teams and senior management. The ideal candidate will be self-driven, resourceful, very organized and focused, and enjoy working in a dynamic team environment.
Primary Functions
- Build and run in-house mass spectroscopy-based proteomics capabilities to identify and characterize proteins and their post-translational modifications
- Utilize mass spectrometry techniques for protein identification and quantification for various sample types including complex mixtures using label-free and label-based techniques
- Implement new technologies, and develop proteomics workflows including sample preparation and data analyses
- Design proteomics-based experiments together with the project team, and lead the execution, analyses and interpretation of results
- Maintain and troubleshoot mass spectrometers as needed
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Cell or Molecular Biology, Chemical Biology or related field with 6+ years post-degree industry experience
- Demonstrated expertise in operating relevant mass spectrometer instruments (e.g., from Agilent, Sciex and Thermo)
- Demonstrated experience in designing, executing and analyzing quantitative proteomics experiments (e.g., protein abundance by SILAC and TMT)
- Experience identifying and localizing post-translational modifications including phosphorylation and ubiquitylation from purified samples to complex mixtures
- Knowledge of computational methods to analyze diverse mass spectroscopy datasets, including quantification, post-translational modifications and discovery
- A proven track record (e.g., publication, industry experience, etc.) with excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team environment
- The successful candidate will be strongly aligned with Nurix's culture and values; he/she will be team-oriented and highly collaborative with a hands-on approach
- The candidate should be enthusiastic, driven, and have the ability to work independently and thrive in a dynamic start-up environment
Company
Nurix Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule therapies designed to modulate cellular protein levels as a novel treatment approach for cancer and immune disorders. Leveraging Nurix’s extensive expertise in E3 ligases together with its proprietary DNA-encoded libraries, Nurix has built DELigase, an integrated discovery platform to identify and advance novel drug candidates targeting E3 ligases, a broad class of enzymes that can modulate proteins within the cell. Nurix’s drug discovery approach is to either harness or inhibit the natural function of E3 ligases within the ubiquitin proteasome system to selectively decrease or increase cellular protein levels.
Nurix’s wholly owned pipeline comprises targeted protein degraders of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, a B-cell signaling protein, and inhibitors of Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene-B, an E3 ligase that regulates T cell activation. Nurix is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
