    Description

    MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC PPU):

    The MRC PPU is one of the world's most renowned centres for research on protein phosphorylation and ubiquitylation ). Many world-leading researchers in the field of signal transduction have trained within the MRC PPU. The major aims of the MRC PPU are to advance understanding of the role of protein phosphorylation and ubiquitylation in cell regulation and human disease, to facilitate the development of drugs to treat diseases caused by abnormalities in phosphorylation, to generate reagents and improve technologies. A key remit of the MRC PPU is to train the next generation of scientists who will advance our understanding in this crucial area of medical research.

    School of Life Sciences (SLS):

    The MRC PPU is based within the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee, a world-class academic institution with a reputation for the excellence of its research, its high-quality teaching and student experience, and the strong impact of its activities outside academia. With 900 staff from over 60 countries worldwide the School provides a dynamic, multi-national, collegiate and diverse environment with state-of-the-art laboratory, technology and teaching facilities.

    Division of Signal Transduction Unit (DSTT):

    The Division of Signal Transduction Therapy (DSTT) was established in 1998. This division operates as a unique collaboration between scientists in the MRC PPU and signalling researchers at the University of Dundee's School of Life Sciences (Simon Arthur, Doreen Cantrell, Alessio Ciulli, Ron Hay, Angus Lamond, Henry McSorley, Ignacio Moraga, Adrian Saurin) and three leading pharmaceutical companies (Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck Serono). The DSTT is widely regarded as a model for how academia should interact with industry. The DSTT operates as a simple bridging mechanism to enable our PIs working on ubiquitylation and phosphorylation to effectively interact with three major pharmaceutical companies to help accelerate the early stages of drug discovery.

    We are recruiting for an exceptional individual to join us as an Administrative Assistant, to provide high-quality administrative support to a number of Principal Investigators and their groups.

    The postholder will be an active team member, working closely with the wider MRC PPU Admin team to support, co-ordinate and plan the wide-ranging administrative activities of the Unit. You will provide high-quality administrative support and work with colleagues in order to meet team and Unit objectives and deadlines.

    The position is for 1-year in the first instance, with strong likelihood of extension.

    Your priorities will include:

    • Provide high-level administrative support to academic staff and researchers
    • Assist with MR PPU recruitment and onboarding of new staff
    • Deal with high volumes of complex national and international travel
    • Process purchase orders/purchasing card transactions
    • Schedule meetings and events, book rooms and organise catering

    Who we're looking for:

    • Excellent organisational and multitasking skills
    • Excellent written and oral communication skills
    • Capable of working to a high level of accuracy and reliability even under pressure
    • Able to deal confidently with sensitive and confidential information
