Job Description:
Within an interdisciplinary European collaboration, we seek to fill a position for a Doctoral PhD Student. Starting date Fall.
Peptide- and protein-modifications are required for numerous applications ranging from up-cycling protein waste streams to sophisticated applications in biotechnology, medicine, and crop protection. The proposed doctoral project will develop and apply methods to selectively functionalize, modify or cleave peptides and proteins by chemical (non-enzymatic) methods, ideally with high yield and selectivity.
Your tasks
* Design and prepare artificial chemical proteases
* Develop protocols to selectively cleave, hydrolyse, and modify proteins and peptides
* Analyse and characterize obtained products
The contract will be for three years upon successful completion of the initial first year. You will conduct your research at School of Life Sciences FHNW and are enrolled as a PhD Student at the University of Basel.
Your profile
The successful candidate will:
* Have a master’s degree, expertise, and interest in organic chemistry or related subjects
* Have interest and experience in the application of multiple analytical methods
* Have interest in modern tools for data analysis and interpretation
* Like to work and communicate in a multidisciplinary team locally but also across a multinational consortium
* Be highly motivated and like to work independently
* Speak English; German is an added benefit
Your prospects:
The FHNW School of Life Sciences offers state-of-the-art technical, laboratory, and office facilities. Contributing to the school’s highly motivating working environment – which is second to none – are its collaboration with a large number of companies and institutions in Switzerland and abroad, a widely varied programme of scientific events, and daily contact with young students in research and teaching. The FHNW is also committed to equal opportunities and the compatibility of private and professional life.
Your benefits:
* Wide range of university sports
* Cultural programme of lectures, concerts, theatre, and films
* Established implementation of equal pay
