About this position

Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the Department of Biomedicine, University of Bergen in Norway.

This is a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral opening in the eHACS project, financed by the Research Council of Norway. The successful candidate will join the Brenk lab and contribute to structure-based drug design, including experimental evaluation of designed compounds against targets FabF, PanK, and NMT, protein expression and purification, label-free biophysical binding studies, enzyme activity assays, and crystal structure determination of protein-ligand complexes.

Research keywords: structural biology, biomedicine, biophysical methods (BLI, SPR, GCI), protein-ligand complexes, crystallography, compound design, biochemical assays, drug discovery.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a Norwegian PhD or equivalent in structural biology, or have submitted the doctoral thesis before the deadline. The PhD must be awarded within 5 months after the closing date. Required experience includes label-free biophysical methods, structure determination in a drug-design context, and protein expression/purification of at least one target protein. Strong written and spoken English is required.

Funding and terms: the appointment is for 3 years, with a possible extension to 4 years if additional funding becomes available. Salary is NOK 690,000 (state salary scale), with pension enrollment and welfare benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Norwegian PhD or an equivalent degree within structural biology, or have the doctoral thesis submitted before the application deadline. The PhD must be awarded no later than 5 months after the closing date. Required experience includes label-free biophysical methods such as BLI, SPR, or GCI for small-molecule binding, structure determination of protein-ligand complexes in a structure-based drug design context, and protein expression and purification of at least one target protein (FabF, PanK, or NMT). Proficiency in written and oral English is required. Ability to work independently, in a structured manner, and collaboratively is expected; biochemical activity assay experience is an advantage.

How to apply

Apply through the Jobbnorge application portal using the job advertisement. Include a brief research-interest and motivation statement, transcripts and diplomas, documentation of submitted doctoral thesis, complete publication list, PDF copies of selected publications, and two references.
