Jobs

MSc– and BSc– projects and projects for Praktika (Drug Discovery, Bioinorganic Chemistry) are available in the group for highly motivated students.

PhD-positions will be available starting from 01.07.2021:

1. We are looking for talented synthetic chemists, who are interested in development of

N-Alkylaminoferrocene-based prodrugs for treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases

The work will include organic synthesis, spectroscopic (UV-vis, fluorescence), chromatographic (HPLC, TLC) and mass spectrometric (ESI and MALDI-TOF MS) investigation of the prodrugs and tests of their effects on cancer cell lines.

A potential candidate should hold an MSc-title (or equivalent, e.g. Diplom) in organic chemistry or related field. Candidates with BSc-degree can start in the MSc programm of the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy. No previous working experience with live cells is required. The corresponding training will be provided. Please, apply per Email (andriy.mokhir@fau.de) by sending your detailed CV with the full list of marks and achievements (MSc, BSc, school education) and names and contact information of 3 referees.

 

2. We are looking for talented biochemists, who are interested in development of

N-Alkylaminoferrocene-based prodrugs for treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases

The work will include elucidation of the mechanism of action of the prodrugs. A potential candidate should hold an MSc-title (or equivalent, e.g. Diplom) in biochemistry or related field. Hands-on experience in typical biochemical experiments is required: (a) work with live cells; (b) gel electrophoresis of proteins (incl. Western blot); (c) qPCR etc. Please, apply per Email (andriy.mokhir@fau.de) by sending your detailed CV with the full list of marks and achievements (MSc, BSc, school education) and names and contact information of 3 referees.
