Barcelona, Barcelona, España Iqs A tiempo completo

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented researcher to join our dynamic team at IQS School of Engineering - Ramon Llull University in Barcelona. Our group, ChemSynBio (www.chemsynbio.iqs.edu), is focused on harnessing chemical and synthetic biology to create innovative biotherapeutic and biomedical tools.

About the Project

Current treatments against brain diseases have low efficacy due to their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and target specific cell populations. We have been awarded a prestigious grant by the European Research Council to develop new strategies for delivering large therapeutics into the brain with unprecedented efficiency and selectivity.

Job Description
  • Lead the creation of a high-throughput screening platform on BBB models.
  • Apply protein design/engineering and bioinformatics to boost the OBGate project.
  • Closely collaborate with other researchers working on the project and the group.
What We Offer

We provide two years of guaranteed funding, support to apply for additional funding, training opportunities, and attendance to international conferences. You will also have space for creativity, mentorship, and team support. Additionally, you will have the possibility to supervise PhD and MSc students.

Key Requirements

To be successful in this role, you should have a strong background in synthetic biology, protein engineering, or a related field. You should also be proficient in bioinformatics and have experience with high-throughput screening platforms. Excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential.

Based on the requirements of the position, we estimate that the salary for this role will be around €45,000 - €60,000 per year, depending on your level of experience and qualifications.
