[SocBiN] Postdoc positions in AI-Accelerated Oligonucleotide Drug Design in Göteborg

[Alexander Schliep]

Interested in AI and natural sciences and drug design? Come and join us!

Two 2-year postdoctoral positions available for AI-Accelerated 
Oligonucleotide Drug Design funded by DDLS-WASP in Göteborg, Sweden. The 
twinned post-docs will push the boundary on understanding the 
thermodynamics impact of chemical modifications in novel classes of 
therapeutic oligonucleotides.

Focus is on machine learning and bioinformatics (apply by Feb 
10,https://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/Working-at-Chalmers/Vacancies/Pages/default.aspx?rmpage=job&rmjob=10133 
<https://www.chalmers.se/en/about-chalmers/Working-at-Chalmers/Vacancies/Pages/default.aspx?rmpage=job&rmjob=10133>), 
respectively onmolecular simulation and computational chemistry (apply

The two postdoctoral researchers will closely collaborate, will be 
jointly supervised by both PIs, Alexander Schliep (CSE, University of 
Gothenburg | Chalmers,https://schlieplab.org) and Pär Matsson 
(Pharmacology, University of 
Gothenburg,https://www.gu.se/en/research/cellular-and-molecular-pharmacokinetics), 
and spend time in both labs. Close ties to the OligoNova Hub at the 
University of Gothenburg (part of SciLifeLab’s Drug Discovery and 
Development platform) and the considerable research activities at 
AstraZeneca R&D Gothenburg, provide a vibrant research environment in 
the exciting new area of computational design of oligonucleotide 
therapeutics.

Additionally, the project involves collaboration with Rula Zain’s 
research group (Karolinska Institutet) to identify clinically relevant 
target genes in rare diseases and evaluate predicted oligonucleotide 
candidates in in vitro and in vivo models. Consequently, the 
postdoctoral position will position candidates to develop independent 
research programs and pursue distinguished careers either in academia or 
industry.

Please be in touch if interested.

Best,
Alexander
