Researcher in organic chemistry - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The position is a fixed contract of 100% for 2 years.

The Chemical Biology & Therapeutics is a multidisciplinary team at Lund University and University of Gothenburg that explore new therapeutic strategies using organic/medicinal chemistry, in-vivo/in-vitro biology, and applied physics. The lab was recently awarded funding for studying in-vivo assembled therapeutics and for an Electronic Neuropharma project (e-NeuroPharma), aiming to address CNS disorders by self-assembled therapeutics. In the e-Neuropharma effort, we will develop self-organizing molecular systems that exert both pharmaceutical activity and electrical functionality to explore new therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. The latter is a collaboration with the organic bioelectronic team at Linköping University, Karolinska Institute and Chalmers University of Thechnology.

Synthesis of self-assembled conductive polymers, and molecules for use in molecular electronics

The Chemical Biology & Therapeutics lab is a multidisciplinary team, we are looking for a team member that is a strong team player and someone who's not afraid for diverse work assignments and at the same time is an expert. 

Qualifications

Requirements

• PhD in Organic chemistry
• Several years of practical experience in synthesis and analysis of small molecules.
• Practical experience of heterocyclic chemistry and cross-coupling reactions
• You are the main driver, and knowledge sharer within their own field of expertise
• You must be able to work independently, have excellent communication skills and have the ability to collaborate with people

Desirable qualifications

Experience of electrochemical analysis such as cyclic voltametry, polymer chemistry and molecular modeling

Terms of employment

The position is located at Lund University but the work is done at Gothenburg University

Research at the Chemical Biology & Therapeutics Laboratory and collaborators is carried out predominantly in English, excellent English (speaking, writing) is therefore a requirement for the position.
