Dein Job

In the Bioorganic Chemistry Group led by JProf. Dr Marie-T. Hopp a postdoctoral position is to be filled. The employment is full-time (currently 39 hours/week) and is limited until 31 October 2026. The fixed-term employment is based on the regulations of the Act on Temporary Scientific Contracts in Science (WissZeitVG). In principle the position is divisible.

The main focus is the participation in the DFG project ‘Characterisation of the molecular basis of labile heme as a prothrombotic modulator under hemolytic conditions’ using bioanalytical, bioorganic and clinical-chemical methods in the field of peptide and protein biochemistry.

Responsibilities

solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of protein-derived peptides
purification and analytical characterization of peptides and proteins
carrying out peptide- and protein-heme/porphyrin interaction studies
establishment and application of in vitro assays (e.g., enzymatic assays)
supervision of bachelor and master students presentation of research results
