Are you passionate about deciphering the mysteries of life through computational analysis Do you possess a keen interest in structural biology and its implications in drug discovery and biomolecular function We are looking for an experienced postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in modelling of proteins and their interactions including using empirical force fields like FoldX.
We are coordinating a large interdisciplinary project to develop a new generation of protein engineering and design tools with the goal of designing proteinprotein interactions. Our work which aims to have a direct impact on drug discovery and has a strong valorization angle makes strong use of the FoldX force field and related tools such as ModelX and TANGO. As always our work starts with a thorough analysis of existing protein structures to extract rules and databases of working examples and from there implement novel design approaches.
The SWITCH Laboratory is a leading lab in computational analysis of protein structure and computationally guided protein engineering and design. We are an interdisciplinary workplace bringing together more than twentyfive researchers from different backgrounds such as bioinformatics biophysics chemistry and cell biology. SWITCH has a unique platform of technologies for studying protein folding and aggregation including biophysical ultrastructural and cell biological instrumentations. You can read more about us on our website and be sure to check out our laboratory section to explore the fantastic infrastructure that SWITCH has to offer!
Together with the PIs of the Switch Lab you will be part of a team that is developing new tools to analyze and predict proteinprotein interactions. You will be well supported on an administrative level allowing you to focus on the science both handson in the lab and analyzing data.
