Postdoc in Protein Design of Photoactive Proteins

Deadline 1 Apr 2025: 23:59 CEST

Expected start 1 Jun 2025

Chemistry, Dept. of Langelandsgade 140, 8000 Aarhus C

Fixed term full-time position from 1 Jun 2025 - 31 May 2027 ID: 17464

The Westberg Lab within the Department of Chemistry at Aarhus University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a strong interdisciplinary background. The position involves both computational and experimental work on protein design, with a particular emphasis on designing photoactive proteins.

Tasks

As a Postdoc, your position is primarily research-based. Your main tasks will consist of:

  • Computational protein design.
  • Protein expression and purification.
  • Biophysical, spectroscopic, and structural protein characterization.
  • High-throughput protein screening.

You will report to Assistant Professor Michael Westberg.

Your profile

You are required to have:

  • A proven track record in protein biochemistry, protein biophysics, or protein engineering.
  • A PhD degree in biophysical chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, chemical biology, molecular biology, bioengineering, biotechnology, nanoscience or related fields.
  • An interdisciplinary drive.
  • A strong experimental skillset, including protein purification and biophysical characterization.
  • Demonstrated data analysis and basic programming skills within at least one major programming language (e.g., Python) and a desire to expand this skillset.
  • Excellent English verbal and written skills.

Any of the following skills/experiences are a plus, but not a requirement:

Experimental skills:
  • Advanced optical spectroscopy and microscopy.
  • Structural biology techniques (protein crystallography or cryo-EM).
  • Photoactive proteins handling.
  • Mammalian cell culture.
Computational skills:
  • De novo protein design.
  • Training and fine-tuning of machine learning algorithms.
  • Molecular docking.
  • Molecular dynamics.

Finally, you have:

  • Good interpersonal and collaboration skills and a team-oriented attitude.
  • The ability to take responsibility and to work independently and proactively on your projects.
  • Good project management skills and attention to detail.
  • Well-developed critical thinking and troubleshooting skills.
  • A drive for performing your best possible research.
The Westberg Lab

The Westberg Lab is a recently established lab at the Department of Chemistry and iNANO at Aarhus University, Denmark, focusing on functional protein design. We are building a multidisciplinary program that integrates computational and experimental methods to create, analyze, and utilize light- and ligand-controlled protein tools for studying biological processes.
