The starting date is as soon as possible. The position is fulltime with salary and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13, 100 %).

Prof. Hantschel's group uses interdisciplinary approaches at the interface of protein biochemistry, structural biology, protein engineering, proteomics, and chemical biology to study cancer cell signaling with the goal of finding new approaches for therapeutic intervention. Research focuses on the development of novel intracellular protein-based therapeutics, so-called monobodies, to inhibit key oncoproteins, as well as structure-function analysis of oncogenic signaling networks.

Tasks:

• independent scientific research in the field of molecular oncology
• possibility of independent management of research projects
• support in the supervision of BSc/MSc theses and doctoral dissertations
• assistance in writing manuscripts and scientific grants
