Your responsibilities

This project combines a variety of disciplines and tools in the broader field of chemical peptide synthesis and late‑stage modification. You will design, synthesize and modify amino acids, and will use them in peptide synthesis using our state‑of‑the‑art fully automated synthesis platform, and Johnson&Johnson's high throughput facilities. You will furthermore be driving the characterization of chemically synthesized peptides using various analytical techniques (UHPLC, LCMS, CD, etc.). Your profile

We are looking for a highly motivated, curious and enthusiastic PostDoc to continue a research collaboration between the Hartrampf group (University of Zurich), and Johnson&Johnson (Toledo, Spain). The candidate should hold a PhD in chemistry and should have expertise in peptide chemistry (SPPS) and synthetic organic chemistry. Additional expertise in peptide late‑stage functionalization, photochemistry, chemical engineering or high‑throughput experimentation is a plus but not required. You are adept at working in an open, interdisciplinary, and collaborative environment that you will contribute to with curiosity, scientific agility, self‑motivation, and strong communication skills.
