Job Description:
Objectives:
* Characterization of the structure-permeability relationship of macrocycles using molecular dynamics simulations and comparison with NMR data
* Development of novel conformation- and environment-dependent 3D descriptors based on the MD simulations
* Development and refinement of machine learning models for permeability prediction for macrocycles
Secondments planned within the framework of the Doctoral Network:
* Roche, Switzerland, C. Kroll: Experimental determination of PAMPA permeability coefficients for macrocyclic library
* U. Uppsala, Sweden, M. Erdelyi: Conformational studies by NMR experiments
* Bayer, Germany, D. Barber: Conformational sampling of macrocycles
Preferred starting date: early.
Profile:
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. in chemistry, computational chemistry, or physics. Experience with machine learning and/or biomolecular simulation, and strong programming skills (Python) are highly advantageous. Proficiency in English, good communication skills, and social competence are required.
We welcome self-motivated candidates with outstanding academic records, excellent communication skills, and professional integrity to apply.
EU Mobility Rule: Researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months preceding their recruitment date.
We offer:
The project offers research and training excellence in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. The partners of MC4DD are leading research groups in this field, and their research institutes actively promote young researchers. The 8 academic research groups and 5 industry partners join forces in MC4DD to create a platform of intersectoral and multidisciplinary mobility and training.
To complement the academic and scientific goals of the doctoral students, the project offers customized research projects, structured interdisciplinary local and network-wide transferable skills training activities, and secondments at top-ranking European universities and industry partners.
We value diversity: In line with our commitment to ensuring a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish.
Curious? So are we.
We look forward to receiving your online application until August 31, with the following documents:
