[3dem] industry/academia postdoc position in Vancouver - protein design

[Filip Van Petegem]

*Postdoctoral opportunity in Protein Design and Structural Biology*

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Prof. Filip Van
Petegem at the University of British Columbia.  The goal is to apply state
of the art computational protein design methods to create novel protein
molecules to enable structural cryo-EM characterization of therapeutic
candidates and their target. The project is a collaboration with Amgen, one
of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, and is supported through a
MITACS scholarship.



In recent years, antibody-based medicines have emerged as one of the most
effective modalities to treat diverse illnesses from cancer and
inflammation to metabolic and neurological disorders. The successful
candidate will work with experts in computational design to create novel
scaffold proteins and will gain hands-on experience in evaluating
protein-protein interactions in an industrial setting.



The individual we seek has a background in computational protein design and
an interest in testing their designs in a laboratory setting.  We are
looking for a talented and highly motivated PhD graduate with a proven
track record in biochemistry, bioengineering, computer sciences or a
related discipline and a desire to push the envelope of biotherapeutic
research. Experience in protein structure visualization (i.e. PyMOL) and
design tools (i.e. Rosetta) is desired along with experience with protein
purification and experimental characterization. This position offers a
unique opportunity in early-stage drug discovery at the interface of
academia and industry.
