- Stellenbeschreibung
- At the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection
Biology (Leibniz-HKI), we investigate the pathobiology of
microorganisms and develop new natural product-based active compounds
for the treatment of infectious diseases. The Transfer Group
Antiinfectives investigates promising target structures of
infection-relevant pathogens with regard to the development of new
natural product-based or synthetic active substances. The Leibniz-HKI
is located in the 'science city' of Jena on the Beutenberg Campus and
is part of the ' Balance of the Microverse ' cluster of excellence.
Ihre Aufgaben You will play a key role in the further development of
our antiinfectives pipeline and contribute to the discovery and
development of new small molecule therapeutics and biologics. In a
collaborative, interdisciplinary environment, you will have the
opportunity to actively advance medicinal chemistry strategies from
hit identification to clinical candidate selection. What you can
expect: Your work will focus on target-based research into new
antiinfective agents (antibiotics, antifungals, and antiviral
substances). This includes the development, synthesis and optimization
of biologically active small molecules with an antimicrobial spectrum
of activity. Experience in the development of biologics is also
welcome. You will play a key role in a cross-functional project team
that ensures the successful delivery of hits and lead compounds for
preclinical and clinical studies. In constant communication with
medicinal chemists, you will analyse complex data sets to establish
structure-activity relationships (SAR) and structure-property
relationships (SPR) for small molecules and apply data-driven insights
to improve molecular properties. You will explore new chemical
modalities to improve therapeutic potential. You will efficiently
organize a medicinal chemistry laboratory, manage scientific staff and
supervise daily operations. You are responsible for maintaining high
scientific standards and are willing to continuously expand your
expertise in the fields of medicinal chemistry and antiinfectives. You
communicate with service providers in the industry and organize
contract measurements and method transfers. Ihr Profil Above-average
degree and doctorate in synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal
chemistry, natural product chemistry, or a related field with a focus
on biophysical medicinal chemistry (e.g., pharmacy, pharmaceutical
chemistry, etc.) At least two years of experience in managing projects
in the field of medicinal chemistry and experience with target- and
ligand-based approaches in drug discovery Good knowledge of modern
synthetic methods, purification of compounds, and structural
characterization A solid understanding of drug discovery and
development, including biology, ADME, and drug safety considerations
Excellent knowledge and experience in performing biophysical assays
for characterizing drug-target interactions using SPR and
fluorescence-based technologies, as well as NMR and X-ray Good
understanding of the chemistry of small molecules Knowledge in the
field of fragment-based drug discovery is an advantage Creativity and
strategic thinking to drive innovation in medicinal chemistry and
promote interdisciplinary collaboration Goal-oriented communication
style, strong initiative, determination and ability to work in a team
Very good command of written and spoken English The following
experience is an advantage: Experience with functional tests in
cell-free and whole-cell systems, antibacterial and antifungal tests,
including tests to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration
(according to EUCAST) Experience with the development of enzymatic
assays Unser Angebot An application-oriented and challenging field of
activity with a high degree of personal responsibility in a committed
and innovation-oriented team. An excellent laboratory infrastructure
Remuneration in accordance with the collective agreement for the
public sector of the federal states (TV-L, full-time) as well as
extensive qualification opportunities Hier Bewerben Dr. Sina Gerbach |
