CNRS Research Director Anton Granzhan is recruiting for an 18-month postdoctoral position in bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology at LCBPT (CNRS – Université Paris Cité, Paris, France). The project builds on a recent discovery of small molecules that selectively bind DNA three-way junctions and show toxicity against certain cancer cells. The next stage is to design a new generation of macrocyclic TWJ ligands and heterobifunctional probes to investigate how these molecules act in cells. Suit...

About this position

PhD opening in Chemical Biology at the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain.

The project is hosted by the Chemical Biology Group with PIs Gemma Triola and Juan Blanco. The research focuses on chemical protein synthesis, solid-phase peptide synthesis, chemical ligation, and the study of proteins post-translationally modified with fatty acids. The successful candidate will also work on the design and synthesis of chemical probes to monitor and manipulate protein fatty acylation, with biomedical applications in metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.

Training includes peptide/protein synthesis, probe design, lipid-modified proteins and enzymes involved in their metabolism, identification of novel target peptides and molecular targets, and precise delivery of anti-cancer drugs. The work is interdisciplinary, spanning organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, and MS-based lipidomics.

Eligibility: degree in Chemistry, Pharmacy, Biochemistry, Biology, or a related field with average grade ≥ 8.5; a Master's degree in one of these fields is required. Experience with HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, organic synthesis, and cell culture is valued. Good English is required.

Funding: 1-year contract with a gross annual salary of €27,000.

Deadline: 30 November 2026. Expected start: March 2027.

How to apply: Email a CV and motivation letter to [email protected] and [email protected] with the subject line “PhD position”. More information is available on the group page.
