*Postdoctoral opportunity in Protein Design and Structural Biology*
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Prof. Filip Van Petegem at the University of British Columbia. The goal is to apply state of the art computational protein design methods to create novel protein molecules to enable structural cryo-EM characterization of therapeutic candidates and their target. The project is a collaboration with Amgen, one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, and is supported through a MITACS scholarship. In recent years, antibody-based medicines have emerged as one of the most effective modalities to treat diverse illnesses from cancer and inflammation to metabolic and neurological disorders. The successful candidate will work with experts in computational design to create novel scaffold proteins and will gain hands-on experience in evaluating protein-protein interactions in an industrial setting. The individual we seek has a background in computational protein design and an interest in testing their designs in a laboratory setting. We are looking for a talented and highly motivated PhD graduate with a proven track record in biochemistry, bioengineering, computer sciences or a related discipline and a desire to push the envelope of biotherapeutic research. Experience in protein structure visualization (i.e. PyMOL) and design tools (i.e. Rosetta) is desired along with experience with protein purification and experimental characterization. This position offers a unique opportunity in early-stage drug discovery at the interface of academia and industry.
