Postdoc in Exploration of the sequence dependence of protein assembly and condensation at high throughput, Denmark
The Technical University of Denmark (DTU Bioengineering) is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the research group of Prof. Alexander K. Buell. The successful candidate will contribute to the establishment of a new experimental methodology with the aim of probing the relationship between protein sequence and assembly into condensates and aggregates at high throughput. The position is funded by a prestigious ERC consolidator grant (EMMA).
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area: Protein Chemistry and Enzyme Technology
Location: Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark
Eligibility/Qualification: The candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field. The ideal candidate should have experience in protein chemistry, structural biology, and/or biophysical techniques. Experience with high throughput techniques is desirable but not required. The candidate should have a track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals.
Job Description: The successful candidate will contribute to the establishment of a new experimental methodology with the aim of probing the relationship between protein sequence and assembly into condensates and aggregates at high throughput. The candidate will be responsible for developing and applying novel high throughput methods to explore intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) assembly sequence space. The candidate will also be responsible for the supervision of a PhD student who is also involved in the project. The candidate will be expected to assist in and be involved with other research projects and topics in the group. The candidate will be responsible for the functioning of research equipment, experimental design, data analysis, writing of scientific articles, and presentations at conferences and meetings.
Salary and terms of employment: The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The period of employment is 2 years, starting from 1.6.2023, or as soon as possible afterward.
