A PostDoc position is available in the group of Prof. Dr. Nina Hartrampf in the Department of Chemistry at University of Zurich (Switzerland), in collaboration with the company Johnson & Johnson (Spain). The Hartrampf group uses flow chemistry for the chemical synthesis and modification of peptides and proteins. As part of the collaborative project, you will investigate novel methods for late-stage modification by using a combination of techniques including flow chemistry, photochemistry and high-throughput experimentation. The PostDoc will be carried out at the University of Zurich, with an additional research visit to Johnson & Johnson in Toledo/Spain.

We offer an exciting PostDoc position in a stimulating and challenging environment at the interface of modern chemistry methodology and automation. You will be trained in state-of-the-art SPPS technology, organic chemistry, late-stage functionalization, photochemistry and high-throughput experimentation. With this joint research project, you will be part of an interdisciplinary and international research collaboration.

Your responsibilities

This project combines a variety of disciplines and tools in the broader field of chemical peptide synthesis and late-stage modification. You will design, synthesize and modify amino acids, and will use them in peptide synthesis using our state-of-the-art fully automated synthesis platform, and Johnson & Johnson's high throughput facilities. You will furthermore be driving the characterization of chemically synthesized peptides using various analytical techniques (UHPLC, LCMS, CD, etc.).

Your profile

We are looking for a highly motivated, curious and enthusiastic PostDoc to continue a research collaboration between the Hartrampf group (University of Zurich), and Johnson & Johnson (Toledo, Spain). The candidate should hold a PhD in chemistry and should have expertise in peptide chemistry (SPPS) and synthetic organic chemistry. Additional expertise in peptide late-stage functionalization, photochemistry, chemical engineering or high-throughput experimentation is a plus but not required. You are adept at working in an open, interdisciplinary, and collaborative environment that you will contribute to with curiosity, scientific agility, self-motivation, and strong communication skills.

Information on your application

Your application should contain:

letter of motivation
curriculum vitae
short summary of past research accomplishments
transcripts of your academic records from your University, and a copy of your degree
contact details of two referees (e.g. your PhD thesis supervisor)

Please submit your application before June 5 as a single pdf (incomplete applications will not be considered). Interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis.
