About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Mainz, Germany, in the Czodrowski Lab on identification of new small molecule inhibitors for the aspartic protease endothiapepsin.
The project combines structural biology, machine learning, and biophysical methods such as ITC, STD NMR, X-ray diffraction, switchSENSE, and FRET to study drug discovery and protein-ligand interactions. The research aims to virtually identify and experimentally verify novel inhibitors structurally related to endothiapepsin, with a focus on proton transfer during protein-ligand complex formation.
Applicants should have a solid background in structural biology and biophysical methods, fluent English, and ideally German. The post also values dedication to teaching and mentoring undergraduates.
This is a 3-year PhD position funded at TV-L E13 (65%) with full social benefits. Preferred start is January 2027.
To apply, send a single PDF to [email protected] with subject line "PhD ET". Include a motivation letter, CV, a 2-page Master's thesis summary with graphical TOC, BSc/MSc transcripts, and 2 references.
