About this position
This fully funded four-year PhD project is based in the Medicinal Chemistry Laboratory of the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain.
The research focuses on chemically induced proximity for the development of targeted therapies against cancer and progeria. The doctoral researcher will investigate chemical mechanisms that bring proteins into proximity to produce therapeutic effects, combining chemical proteomics, E3 ligase validation, and PROTAC development.
The project offers interdisciplinary training at the intersection of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Work will involve the design and preparation of bioactive molecules, investigation of protein-directed mechanisms, validation of E3 ligase activity, and development of PROTAC-based approaches for targeted protein degradation. The student will work within the Medicinal Chemistry Laboratory under the supervision of Professor Silvia Ortega Gutiérrez.
The research is particularly suited to applicants with strong preparation in organic chemistry, synthesis, and structural elucidation who wish to contribute to chemical approaches for challenging biomedical targets.
Funding details
The position is fully funded for four years. No stipend amount or additional details about tuition or benefits are specified.
What's required
Applicants must hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in chemistry, totaling 300 credits. A strong foundation in organic chemistry, chemical synthesis, and structural elucidation is required. Applicants must provide a CV, academic transcripts, and contact details for two references.
How to apply
Send a CV with transcripts and the contact details of two references to [email protected], and submit an application through the Universidad Complutense de Madrid online platform.
