Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The Centre of Excellence in New Target Discovery (CENTD) is a multidisciplinary center that studies molecular targets of inflammatory diseases, hosted by the Butantan Institute in São Paulo (Brazil) and funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) through its Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) program in partnership with GSK. CENTD is offering one post-doctoral position (24 months) to develop a research project with the aim of studying the binding of target proteins with anti-inflammatory peptides; deploying structures of bispecific, multivalent antibodies or fragments; expressing these structures; and performing functional assays. Registration closes on March 15, 2024.

The candidate must have obtained a doctorate less than seven years ago, solid experience in molecular biology, biochemistry and antibody immunology. Experience with cell culture and bioinformatics is desirable.

Interested parties should send an email to ana.chudzinski@butantan.gov.br and centd.vagas@butantan.gov.br, with the following documents (attached in PDF): 1) Letter of interest; 2) Curriculum Vitae; 3) Copy of the doctoral degree certificate; and 4) Two recommendation letters.
