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
