Postdoc in Medicinal Chemistry and NMR Spectroscopy - DTU Chemistry
Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark
Job Description
A two-year postdoc position is available within the Department of Chemistry, DTU. In this position, you will perform research related to NMR-based structural studies of RNA, fragment-based screening, hit-to-lead optimization, and synthesis of RIBOTACs. The project is a collaboration with research groups at the Universities of Copenhagen and Bergen. The position is a joint appointment within the research group in Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry headed by Prof. Mads H. Clausen and the research group in NMR Spectroscopy headed by Assoc. Prof. Charlotte H. Gotfredsen.
The position offers an opportunity to work with a dynamic and multi-disciplinary project. You will carry out research in a team focused on the design of new small molecule binders and studies of interactions with their targets (RNA or protein). The research project will provide opportunities to design, synthesize, screen, and characterize target-ligand interactions. In this position you will also have opportunities to work with undergraduate and graduate students.
An interest in medicinal chemistry, structural biology, and a desire to work in an interdisciplinary environment
We are looking for a profile with a documented track record in synthetic chemistry and knowledge within NMR spectroscopy for structural biology studies. You show a strong commitment to research, and you are enthusiastic about working with research students. You like to drive research and take ownership of your project and direction but also thrive in a team working closely together and feeding off each other’s ideas.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in chemistry and a strong theoretical and experimental background in medicinal chemistry and knowledge within structural biology.
Open-minded knowledge sharing and constructive teamwork are key to the success of the project in total. Additionally, your CV comprises:
- A thorough interest in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
- Experience with design and synthesis of bioactive small molecules.
- Experience with the use of NMR in structural biology and/or screening.
- A track record of communicating research results.
In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:
