Indirizzo
Forma di lavoroAre you eager to strengthen our protein MS capabilities at Orion to boost our hit finding and hit characterisation activities in drug discovery?
Description of position
You, as a Mass spectroscopy specialist in the Structural Biology and Analytics unit, will be responsible for the setting up and use of techniques like AS-MS, native MS and HDX-MS to study and understand the mode of action of proteins and modulation of protein actions by small molecules.
This is a permanent position and location of the position is in Espoo.
Description of unit
The unit “Structural Biology and Analytics” is a part of the Medicine Design in Innovative Medicines Business Division. Besides the analytical support for all medicinal chemistry activities, the unit focuses on hit finding activities, the understanding of protein modes of action and protein ligand interactions. On site, MS as well as NMR techniques are used to obtain the necessary information. Other techniques like cryoEM or X-ray are used via a strong external network.
We offer
The position offers an exciting and challenging opportunity for cross-scientific and -cultural collaboration and working in highly motivated teams. You will have the chance to strengthen and build up our expertise of proteins and protein ligand interactions by using & building HDX-MS, AS-MS and native MS capabilities. We have a good working atmosphere based on common values and mutual trust. Please visit our website to find further information about our values and Orion as an employer https://www.orion.fi/en/careers/orion-as-an-employer/.
Requirements
Practical skills with protein-related MS techniques, especially native MS, HDX-MS or cross-linking techniques, are mandatory to support our activities in the characterisation of protein-ligand interactions and to analyse conformational changes of proteins. The candidate’s special focus will be execution of experiments and data analysis as well as communicating the results to the project team.
The candidate needs to have a good knowledge of protein handling (production beneficial) and must be able to discuss in multidisciplinary project teams the results and the impact of the results on drug design. A basic understanding of biophysical methods is beneficial. A good network with the protein MS community around the world is a big plus.
Additional information
Please send your application incl. salary request and CV by the 4th June 2024. We will start reviewing applications during the application period.
