De novo protein design

Build computational infrastructure and data workflows for de novo protein design. The scientist develops instrument-to-analysis pipelines and protein databases, connects sequence and structural models with experimental measurements, contributes machine-learning models, and advises researchers on reproducible computational workflows. The full-time, 37-hour position starts on 1 February 2027 and runs through 31 July 2032. Applications include a cover letter, CV with two referees, publication list and education certificates.

Tenure-track assistant professorship in protein engineering at TU Wien, held jointly by the Research Group for Bioorganic Synthetic Chemistry (Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry) and the Research Group Synthetic Biology and Molecular Biotechnology (Institute of Process Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Technical Biosciences). The holder builds a programme at the chemistry–biology interface. Areas include new-to-nature reactivities in protein scaffolds (e.g. carbene transfer, unnatural cross-couplings, photoreactions, non-canonical C–H functionalisation) and computational de novo
