Job Summary

This role at TU Dresden's Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry offers an exceptional opportunity for a Research Associate or Doctoral Candidate to engage in cutting-edge research in Chemical Glycobiology. The successful candidate will contribute to developing novel "precision tools" using Bump-and-Hole engineering and bioorthogonal "Click" chemistry to investigate the role of sugar structures (glycans) in biological processes, with the ultimate goal of developing new disease biomarkers and therapies. Day-to-day tasks involve chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis of reporter molecules and inhibitors, contributing to scientific publications, assisting with conferences, and supervising students. This position is ideal for a highly motivated individual passionate about glycochemistry, offering creative freedom within a dynamic, international, and multidisciplinary team.
