Location: University of Bath Hours of Work: Full-time, permanent Salary: Dependent on experience and qualifications Expected start date: From September 2026 onwards Closing date for applications: About 2 weeks after this initial posting The Company Revolver Therapeutics is a drug discovery company based in Bath. Our mission is to develop next-generation peptide therapeutics that target transcription factors, which are key molecular pathways. Transcription Factors have traditionally been deemed “undruggable”, but novel inhibitors can be identified by using our innovative peptide discovery platform, which leverages our proprietary Transcription Block Survival (TBS) assay to rapidly generate functional inhibitors. The company was spun out from the University of Bath in 2023, from the lab of Prof. Jody Mason. We are backed by investors (Future Planet Capital, o2h Ventures, Qantx) and have received an Innovate UK grant to develop peptide therapeutics targeting childhood gliomas, in collaboration with the Institute of Cancer Research. This is an exciting time to join our team as we expand our cutting-edge peptide therapeutics technology. We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven team-player to join us and contribute to our expanding pipeline. Our lab is located at the University of Bath, where we have access to all the equipment and infrastructure needed to excel in this role, but we operate as an independent company. The Role You will play a key part in supporting the development of our peptide discovery platform, Transcription Block Survival (TBS). Your role will be responsible for building, maintaining and screening a catalogue of genetically encoded peptide libraries, using our TBS methodology. Your role will be engaged in all elements of our screening pathway, from applying molecular biology techniques (library design, cloning and screening), through to synthesising the peptides and in vitro biophysical analysis. We are seeking excellent candidates with a relevant degree, such as a BSc, MSc, or PhD in a related scientific field (e.g., molecular biology, peptide chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, etc), ideally with an additional 1-3+ years of experimental experience in an industrial setting. We welcome applications from ambitious individuals with an interest in translating laboratory-based research into real-world applications. As a small company, we highly value adaptability and flexibility. This job description is dynamic and may evolve based on the company’s needs. Main Responsibilities • Design and screen peptide libraries to support a growing R&D programme., • Apply molecular biology techniques such as cloning, PCR, recombinant expression, mutagenesis to support peptide discovery and characterisation., • Assist with various aspects of research conducted in the laboratory, as needed., • Analyse and interpret experimental data, maintaining accurate records and presenting findings to the team, • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including cancer biologists, chemical biologists and chemists., • Proactively identify and troubleshoot technical challenges., • Contribute to the development and optimisation of laboratory protocols., • Maintain a safe and organised laboratory environment.
