Synthesis of reactive peptide conjugates for protein labelling on living cells

Responsibilities:
We are seeking a highly motivated phD Candidate for the participation in a research project (DFG SPP 1623) with a focus on the synthesis of reactive peptide conjugates for peptide-mediated transfer/labeling reactions on living cells. The position includes bioorganic synthesis and analytics, biochemical investigations and teaching in organic chemistry. The objective of this project is to develop protein-based transfer reactions. The project includes organic and bioorganic chemistry and analytics as well as parts of the physicochemical investigation of the prepared probes. This position includes the preparation of a PhD thesis and teaching in organic chemistry.

Requirements:
University degree (Master or equivalent) in the field of organic chemistry or biochemistry with very good results. Ideally experience in the field of bioorganic synthesis and analytics. Very good English skills. Please visit our website (https://www.personalabteilung.hu-berlin.de/stellenausschreibungen), which gives you access to the legally binding German version. Reference number: DR/006/16
