Description of position

As Senior Structural Biologist in the unit “Structural Biology and Analytics” you will be responsible to promote understanding of ligand/protein interactions by NMR and other biophysical methods to support drug discovery.

Location: Espoo

Description of unit

The unit as part of the Medicine Design has the task to purify and analyze small molecules, to characterize their physico chemical properties, to determine binding parameter to proteins and other biomolecules and to study ligand/protein interaction to elucidate binding sites and structures via NMR, MS and chromatographic techniques. In addition it coordinates structural analysis via X-ray or cryoEM with external partners.

We offer

The position offers exciting and challenging opportunity for cross-scientific and -cultural collaboration and working in highly motivated teams. You will have the chance to build up our protein NMR capabilities. We have a good working atmosphere based on common values and mutual trust. Take a look at our values!

Requirements

Solid knowledge in NMR and protein NMR is needed to support our activities in fragment based screening and to build up protein NMR capabilities. The candidate needs to have a good knowledge in protein handling and must be able to discuss in multidisciplinary project teams results and impact of the results on drug design or even lead these teams. Basic understanding on biophysical methods or methods like HDX are beneficial. A good network to NMR centers around the world as well as structural understanding of RNA and DNA are a big plus.
