Chemist - Esprit R&D Scientific Leadership Development Programme

Are you a PhD-qualified chemist eager to become an outstanding scientific leader? An inquisitive mind who would thrive on a diverse, intellectually demanding global leadership programme? Do you want to translate your scientific expertise into disease-beating medicines? And help people across the world to do more, feel better and live longer?

We are a science-led, global healthcare company that puts patients first. Our business is focused on developing medicines that improve the quality of human life. To meet the future strategic challenges this entails, we need to fast-track the finest scientific talent into senior leadership roles within our business.

Esprit R&D is an initial three-year, accelerated, multi-disciplinary and individually tailored programme. It is heavily backed by our senior management team, and it will give you incredible standing as a chemist among your peers.

Over the three years, you’ll undertake high-profile, global rotations that will give you in-depth drug discovery and development knowledge and expertise, and it is anticipated that you will transition into a leadership role within a key functional area after successfully completing this programme. You’ll apply this knowledge across a range of drug development disciplines from discovery research to commercialisation and business development. And as well as learning from thought leaders in your field, you’ll benefit from unrivalled formal training, mentoring, coaching and development to enhance your leadership capabilities.

To be eligible for our Esprit R&D programme, you’ll need:

• A PhD in Chemistry (or aligned area e.g. chemical engineering) with experience in the Pharmaceutical or Biotech field (either through a short-term placement or ideally as a permanent employee) plus excellent theoretical and practical skills coupled with a strong record of productivity.  Post-doctoral experience is also welcome.

• Strategic decision-making skills and possible commercial acumen.

• Innovation, creativity and the ability to solve complex problems.

• The ability to adapt and learn new areas while working as part of a team.

• The insight and curiosity to push boundaries in chemistry.

• Global mobility for one 12-month assignment.

• Eligibility to work in one of the countries below at the time of, and for the duration of, the programme.


Opportunities are available in both the UK and US and will be open for applications from 1st July to 17th July 2013. To apply, please visit www.gsk.com/esprit where you will also be able to gain more insight and review an FAQ fact sheet.

Protein folding via charge zippers

Jan. 18, 2013 — Membrane proteins are the "molecular machines" in biological cell envelopes. They control diverse processes, such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis. Their shape, i.e. folding of the molecules, plays a decisive role in the formation of, e.g., pores in the cell membrane. In the journal Cell, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Cagliari are now reporting a novel charge zipper principle used by proteins to form functional units. "It is fascinating to see the elegant basic principles that are used by nature to construct molecular assemblies," explains Anne Ulrich, Director of the KIT Institute for Biological Interfaces. "A charge zipper between the charged side chains is an entirely unexpected mechanism used by membrane proteins to neutralize their charges such that they can be immersed into hydrophobic cell membranes....
