2-Year Postdoc in AI based Protein Design and Structural Biology at CSIC - Madrid, Spain

CSIC, Madrid, Spain

We are seeking a motivated scientist to join our team to use artificial intelligence (AI) based methods to design novel proteins with therapeutic potential as well as to experimentally validate and characterise the designed proteins. The project is funded by Worldwide Cancer Research and aims to target regulatory sites in a well-known cancer target, known to efficiently and selectively inhibit cancer cell invasion.

The candidate will be based at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research (CIB-CSIC) in Madrid. She/He will work in a multidisciplinary and international team with experience in structural biology of the target (Lietha Lab, CIB-CSIC, Spain), AI based protein design (Baker Lab, University of Washington, USA), and relevant cancer models (Frame Lab, Cancer Research UK Edinburgh Centre). The candidate should have experience in computational structural biology, while experience with experimental biochemistry and/or structural biology techniques will be a plus.

All enquiries and applications will be treated confidentially.
