Job description

Offer DescriptionThe project and the teamAt the ChemSynBio group, we use chemical and synthetic biology aiming to generate new biotherapeutics, especially to target brain tumors. Next generation biotherapeutics need to be even more selective and this can be achieved via conditional activation. Within this expanding field, we are developing reversible masking methods based on chemogenetic approaches. In order to enable biotherapeutics to reach their targets in sufficient amounts, we create and apply new systems to understand and cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Our research is funded by the European Research Council.We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a great team spirit and passionate about biomolecular engineering, who is willing to contribute to research and lab organization. The candidate should be eager to work on developing conditionally-active proteins and boosting their transport across the blood-brain barrier. The focus of the work will involve designing, producing and characterizing proteins and peptides, as well as testing their function and BBB transport capacity on cell models.You’ll be part of a young, dynamic, and international team at IQS Barcelona. We invite you to visit our website Working and feeling as a team is essential. We aim to contribute to pushing the boundaries of knowledge but our main goal is to grow and enjoy research together!RequirementsResearch Field Chemistry » Other Education Level PhD or equivalent
