The Enzyme Sensors and Chemical Probes group is looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to manage the research group laboratory and establish research on fluorogenic enzyme sensors for fluorescence microscopy. This position fits within our overall aim of revealing disease mechanisms through the development of imaging tools and chemical probes, leading up to methods for translatable drug discovery.

Responsibilities

• Laboratory management : help the set‑up of equipment and research protocols, and assist in training and mentoring of junior lab members
• Fluorogenic sensor development : construct fluorescence‑based tools through peptide synthesis and protein semi‑synthesis
• Enzyme assay development : investigate enzyme activity in vitro using purified recombinant proteins
• Live cell imaging : establish protocols for spatiotemporal tracking of enzyme activity in cell culture
• Outreach
