Study of synthesis and properties of cystamine modified oligonucleotides
PhD project: The presented project involves both basic and application research based on the cross-linking of biopolymers (nucleic acid and peptides) in molecular sciences. Cross-linking will be implemented by modiefied nucleic acids contained the disulfide linkers like cystamine which modify the polymers in the chemical interaction to create the future cross-link bonds. An MSc in Chemistry or closely related field, and experience with organic synthesis are requirements for the position.
This project will be hosted at FutureSynthesis sp. z o.o. (Poznan, Poland), with secondments and training visits to other consortium partners.
Qualifications and skills
We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate with a MSc in Chemistry or closely related field, experience in organic synthesis, and good command of English (IELTS grade min. 6.5, or equivalent). We welcome applicants of all nationalities. Being able to present a certificate of good conduct is a condition for the appointment.
Terms of employment
You will receive a temporary position for 3 years. Employment terms for Marie Curie projects (https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/index_en.htm) apply.
