Dear all, a Ph.D. position in pharmaceutical and protein science is immediately available in a pharmaceutical setting in collaboration with an academic chair of interest.
The selected candidate will work with biomolecules of therapeutic relevance in a highly modern environment at the interface of research and development covering the area of protein stability. The research group aims to mechanistically understand protein aggregation/particle formation during biopharmaceutical drug development and manufacture using a multidisciplinary approach. The Ph.D. candidate will assist in a project that involves protein-protein interactions (PPI) using the development of new PPI methods along with complementary methods for the evaluation of physicochemical properties of biomolecules. Applicants should have a strong background in at least one of the following field: protein science, biophysics, biochemistry, pharmacy or related field and should provide a strong interest in the physical understanding of biophysical approaches/methods. Previous experience with proteins, and/or protein chemistry/science as well as biophysical techniques to characterize protein interactions would be a great advantage. Good English language skills (oral and written) are essential and writing scientific research papers would be advantageous. The Ph.D. position is fully funded for a period of 3 - 4 years. The candidates should be highly motivated, goal-driven, and dedicated individuals who can think critically and work both independently and collaboratively. It is also important that the candidates are creative in problem solving and have a strong desire to seek answers to questions related to the project. Preferred start is at the earliest possible date. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled. Interested students please send applications and informal inquiries including a short letter of motivation detailing research interests and expertise, CV and contact information of two/three references as a single pdf file. For more information, contact Michaela Blech (michaela.bl...@boehringer-ingelheim.com). We are looking forward to receiving your applications, preferably before May 29th. Michaela Blech, Ph.D.
