About this position
One Postdoctoral Researcher position is available at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland, within the WIB_PACMAN project: Personalized antibody–drug conjugates activated by matrix metalloproteinases for solid tumors. The work is part of an interdisciplinary research environment spanning combinatorial chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, and molecular biology.
The successful candidate will join the Combinatorial Chemistry and Biochemistry Group and work on highly sensitive fluorescent probes used to identify, localize, and quantitatively assess protease activity in cancer cells, neutrophils, PBMCs, and tissue samples. The role focuses on peptide synthesis and purification, biochemical characterization, fluorescence-based measurements, confocal microscopy, quantitative imaging, and data analysis. The project offers access to modern laboratories, advanced equipment, and strong technical and organizational support.
Two project leaders are named in the announcement: Prof. Marcin Poręba and Prof. Marcin Drąg. The position is full-time, research-focused, and has no teaching obligations. The contract may last up to 40 months, with a monthly salary of up to PLN 15,000 depending on experience and qualifications.
Eligibility requirements include a PhD in chemical, biochemical, or related sciences; solid practical knowledge of peptide synthesis and purification, biochemistry assays, bioimaging, and cell culture; at least two first-author publications in international peer-reviewed journals; and strong English-language communication skills for reporting, presentations, and scientific writing. Candidates must also comply with the WIB non-compete policy.
The application deadline is 16 November 2026 at 12:00 (Europe/Warsaw). Applications should be sent by email to [email protected] with the subject line “Recruitment no. 61/2026”.
