Novel Biocatalysts for Novel Chemistries- Engineering Semi-synthetic Peroxygenases for Late Stage Functionalisation
We're currently looking for talented scientists to join our innovative academic-style Postdoc. From our centre in Gothenburg, Sweden you'll be in a global pharmaceutical environment, contributing to live projects right from the start. You'll take part in a comprehensive training programme, including a focus on drug discovery and development, given access to our existing Postdoctoral research, and encouraged to pursue your own independent research in cutting edge laboratories. It's a newly expanding programme spanning a range of therapeutic areas across a wide range of disciplines.
What's more, you'll have the support of a leading academic advisor, who'll provide you with the guidance and knowledge you need to develop your career. This is an exciting area that hasn't been explored to its full potential, making this an opportunity to make a real difference to the future of medical science.
