General description

The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Organic Chemistry/Chemical Biology to work in a protein bioconjugation project under the supervision of Professor Marcos García Suero for a period of 12 months. The project will involve the development of new technologies for the selective modification of peptides and proteins at natural amino acids and applications thereof.

This position will be funded by the State Research Agency/Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the “Severo Ochoa” Centres of Excellence Program 2019 (CEX2019-000925-S, 2020-2023, MICIN/AEI/ /10.13039/501100011033).

ICIQ is committed to performing excellent research at the frontier of knowledge in the broad area of chemistry (Catalysis, Artificial Photosynthesis, Activation of Small Molecules, Photovoltaics, Functional Molecular Assemblies and Chemical Biology, from either theoretical or experimental perspectives). The institute also aims at training the future generation of scientists by offering high-quality educational programs to master, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers (Full details on http://www.iciq.org/).

Our mission is to lead, from the vantage point of molecular science, cross-strategies for solving major social and economic challenges, such as climate change and sustainable supply of energetic and raw materials, thereby contributing to the establishment of a knowledge-based economy and improving citizens’ quality of life in our influence area.

Responsibilities

• Development of new bioconjugations and applications thereof.
• Writing reports, preparation of scientific articles, and presentation of results in group meetings and conferences.
• Maintenance of laboratory equipment (LC-MS)
• Complete documentation of research results.
