Secondments planned within the framework of the Doctoral Network :
- Roche, Switzerland, C. Kroll : Experimental determination of PAMPA permeability coefficients for macrocyclic library
- U. Uppsala, Sweden, M. Erdelyi : Conformational studies by NMR experiments
- Bayer, Germany, D. Barber : Conformational sampling of macrocycles
Preferred starting date : early .
Profile
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. in chemistry, computational chemistry, or physics. Experiences with machine learning and / or biomolecular simulation, and strong programming skills (Python) are highly advantageous.
Proficiency in English, good communication skills, and social competence are required.
