Postdoctoral Positions: Protein Engineering and Chemical Biology 1337 views

The Department of Chemical Biology at Max Planck Institute for Medical Research has vacant postdoctoral positions (m/f/d) (2 years or longer) under the supervision of Prof. Kai Johnsson.

About the project:

• The goal of the project is the development of lead compounds against new nociceptor-selective protein targets suitable for pain therapy.
• Successful candidates will develop novel approaches for the selection of small molecules from encoded combinatorial libraries (phage display, DNA display) that specifically bind to complex protein targets.
• The project is part of a long-term collaboration with groups from Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital.
• Priority will be given to candidates with previous experiences with encoded combinatorial libraries (phage display or DNA display), or in the fields of protein engineering and chemical biology.

Applications:

Submit application via e-mail as a single PDF file to jobs@vw.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de including:

• Cover letter explaining background and motivation
• CV
• Addresses of two references
