Postdoc in Chemical Biology (Globisch lab)
A two-year postdoctoral position is available to join our projects on the development of new Chemical Biology tools for chemoselective modification of metabolites. The Globisch laboratory is an international and multidisciplinary research group with the research goals to discover biomarkers and unknown bioactive metabolites in human samples. Our team is currently searching for one highly motivated and enthusiastic new team member with passion and enthusiasm for science to support our interdisciplinary research projects for chemoselective modification of metabolites (e.g. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024). The project will be part of our established and close collaboration with the Sjöblom laboratory from the medical faculty at Uppsala University (e.g. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 14342).
The applicants must hold a PhD degree with expertise in at least two of the following areas: (Bio)Organic Chemistry, Chemical Biology and mass spectrometric analysis of metabolites. Good English speaking, reading and writing skills are required. Highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates interested in interdisciplinary research with strong interpersonal skills are preferred.
