PhD Position in Redox Chemical Biology 80 %

As a PhD student working on any of these projects, you would synthesize and purify small-molecule dyes, characterize them structurally, and analyze their photophysical properties. Additionally, you would clone, express and purify proteins, label them using a variety of bioconjugation strategies, and characterize them by various techniques, including X-ray crystallography. You would also clone vectors for expression in mammalian cells to enable live-cell imaging experiments. In all cases, you would be expected to use state-of-the-art data analysis methods, including machine learning, to gain insight from your observations. Later in the project, you would work collaboratively to develop stable cell lines using genome editing techniques and contribute to a large knock-out screening campaign. Additionally, you would be an active member of our group, contributing to routine lab maintenance, participating in group meetings and in selected outreach activities. You would also contribute to teaching as assistant in lab courses and lectures. You would also write reports and papers, and prepare presentations for national and international conferences.
