Summary

The hired researcher will conduct research in the field of macromolecular structural biology creating synergies with biological chemistry, biophysics, computational and molecular biology, forging interdisciplinary approaches to unravel molecular complexities.The hired researcher should have a background in Biochemistry or related areas with a strong expertise in techniques and methodologies related with structural biology and biophysics and should have the broadness required to forge collaborations with researchers working in Biomedicine related topics.One of main research topics of research at BioISI focus on “Structure and Function of Biomolecules”. The hired researcher will foster synergies between areas of research that study molecular mechanisms of biological processes and those that focus mainly on the determination of the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules to reveal their architecture and the interactions that underlie them.Applicants are expected to be fully engaged in all the activities and duties associated with the position, including: (1) Conduct innovative, high-impact, internationally recognized research in computational biochemistry aligned with the above described goals; (2) Interact and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across campus to advance programs from early discovery to applied outputs; (3) Apply to competitive calls at the national/international level for securing external funding; (4) Publish research findings in leading scientific journals; (5) Perform advanced training, supervision and mentoring of graduate students; (6) Take active part in outreach activities.This profile will thus strengthen the structural biology component at both BioISI and DQB.
