Postdoc in Photoswitchable Libraries for RNA Splicing at Philipps University of Marburg Philipps University of Marburg in Germany

Philipps University of Marburg is advertising a fully funded Postdoc position in the consortium TRR440 smART – Specific mRNA Targeting, focused on photoswitchable libraries for RNA splicing.

The project sits at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medical science, with a strong emphasis on organic chemistry synthesis, multistep synthesis, photosensitive molecules, photoswitches, and multicomponent reactions. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment with mentorship, international exchange, state-of-the-art facilities, and public transport benefits.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in organic chemistry synthesis and have a strong background in photosensitive molecules; experience with photoswitches and multicomponent reactions is especially desirable. The post also seeks a self-driven researcher who is enthusiastic about biology and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Funding: fully funded postdoctoral appointment.
