Position opportunities for Ukrainian refugees
Opportunities for collaboration in various research areas for refugees from Ukraine.
We offer positions in the following research areas for qualified individuals with a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree and sufficient experimental laboratory experience. We require that applicants can speak and write English or German at level B2.
We will help with the clarification of further formalities and requirements on an individual basis. We can also help you find accommodation.
Interested individuals should apply by email directly to the contacts given with a covering letter and CV in English or German referring to one of the listed opportunities.
Institute for Chemistry and Bioanalytics
The Institute of Chemistry and Bioanalytics (Laboratory of Molecular Nanotechnology) is running several projects on the design and characterization of enzyme-nanoparticle conjugates and their application in e.g. biocatalysis and plastic degradation. We may integrate scientists (students, research fellows) in our running projects. We may also provide infrastructure and scientific supervision (if needed) for related projects.
Contact: Prof. Dr. Patrick Shahgaldian
The Institute of Chemistry and Bioanalytics (Laboratory of Molecular Nanotechnology) has longstanding experience in the design of amphiphilic macrocycles (mainly focused on calixarenes and cyclodextrins) and their self-assembly study (in water and at interfaces). We may integrate scientists (students, research fellows) in our running projects. We may also provide infrastructure (e.g., synthetic chemistry, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Brewster angle microscopy, Ellipsometry, Langmuir balance) and scientific supervision (if needed) for related projects.

In our efforts to develop nanomaterials capable of specific molecular recognition, we have developed different types of nanomaterials (based on e.g. polymers, inorganic or organic-inorganic hybrids). We may integrate scientists (students, research fellows) in our running projects. We may also provide infrastructure (e.g., synthetic chemistry, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Brewster angle microscopy, Ellipsometry) and scientific supervision (if needed) for related projects.

We can offer positions to scientists (Bachelor-level to Post-doc level) in the field of cell biology and tissue engineering for drug discovery research. The goal would be to support students/scientists to maintain and expand their expertise in complex in vitro systems and to prepare grant applications for future, sustainable collaborations. Working language: English, German or French.

In this research group, the focus lies on Protein Chemistry and Microbiology.
We express, purify, and characterize proteins and we also modify proteins to make them more suitable for technical applications. A second topic relates to the human gut microbiome, which we are investigating in view of colonic delivery of drugs and to improve the gut health.
In mainly industry financed projects we are currently investigating:
- replication enyzmes, such as primases
- the Alkaline Phosphatase as immunoreagent
- protein ligases
- vaccines against antibiotic resistant bacteria
- consortia simulating the proximal gut
- colonic delivery of drugs
If you have scientific experience in one of these areas and are motivated engage in research and development please contact us.
