Your responsibilities
This project combines a variety of disciplines and tools in the broader field of chemical peptide synthesis and computational chemistry. 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 Novo Nordisk's high throughput facilities. You will be driving the characterization of chemically synthesized peptides using various analytical techniques (UHPLC, LCMS, CD, etc.). You will use various computational methods to analyze and predict synthesis results, in close collaboration with Novo Nordisk.
Your profile
We are looking for a highly motivated, curious and enthusiastic PhD student for a four-year research collaboration between the Hartrampf group (University of Zurich), and Novo Nordisk (Måløv, Denmark). The candidate should hold a Master's degree in chemistry or chemical engineering, and should have expertise in programming (ideally Python). Expertise in peptide chemistry (SPPS), synthetic organic chemistry and machine learning 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.
