From: jobs at ccl.net (do not send your application there!!!) To: jobs at ccl.net Date: Fri May 10 09:32:06 2024 Subject: 24.05.10 PhD position in structure-based RNA-ligand design At the University of Bergen (Norway), Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biomedicine in the group of Professor Ruth Brenk (http://www.uib.no/en/rg/brenk), a PhD-position (100 %) is available for a period of four years. The candidates must be able to start the position latest mid-August 2024. The main objectives for the advertised PhD position are: - to carry out structure-based design of RNA-ligands - to establish computational methodology on how to harvest the potential of large, chemically accessible combinatorial spaces for the design of RNA ligands - to determine the binding affinities of RNA ligands - to determine the crystal structures of RNA-ligand complexes More Information about the project can be found here: https://www.uib.no/en/rg/brenk/162656/paving-way-rational-rna-ligand-design. This is a great opportunity to combine working on a challenging project with enjoying the outstanding nature that Norway has to offer. Qualifications and personal qualities: - The applicant must hold a master`s degree or equivalent within the field of cheminformatics, bioinformatics, pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, or a related discipline, or must have submitted his/her master's thesis for assessment prior to 30th of June 2024. It is a condition of employment that the master's degree has been awarded before the start of the position mid-August 2024. - The applicant must have a thorough understanding of structure-based ligand design. - Basic knowledge of a scripting language is required. - Experience with RDKit is a distinct advantage. - Experience with modelling RNA structures or RNA-ligand interactions is a distinct advantage. - Training in organic synthesis or medicinal chemistry is a distinct advantage. - Experience with using biophysical methods for determination of binding affinities is a distinct advantage - Experience in X-ray crystallography is a distinct advantage. - The candidate must demonstrate a strong commitment and enthusiasm for structure-based drug design of RNA-ligands and for research in general. - The candidate must be able to work independently and interactively in a team setting. - A structured approach to work and excellent communication skills and fluency in both written and spoken English are required.
