A position is available for a Ph.D. student to work in protein biochemistry and molecular biology. The hosting place is the Proteolysis Lab of the Molecular Biology Institute of Barcelona (IBMB) from the Higher Scientific Research Council (CSIC) in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). The IBMB is located within the premises of the Barcelona Science Park (PCB), a major pole for excellence in research in biomedicine and biotechnology in Barcelona city. The candidate must be highly self-motivated and dedicated, be able to work independently but also to synergetically interact with other lab members, and have previous experience in protein biochemistry and molecular biology. Candidates should already have a Master’s degree in a relevant discipline. Tasks will include cloning, overexpression, and purification of proteins, as well as biochemical and biophysical assays of biotechnologically or biomedically relevant proteins. Funding for four years will be provided by an FPI fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. The tentative start of the fellowship and thus the position would be in early 2024. Interested persons should apply exclusively per e-mail as soon as possible and in any case before September 30, 2023, and send a detailed CV, as well as a covering letter including motivation and contact details of two referees to F.
