Beasiswa S3: Ph.D Position (Doktorand) in Bioorganic Chemistry: DNA and RNA and their analogs

The candidate is expected to perform original research in the bioorganic chemistry of Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA and their analogs), and their conformational analysis using NMR spectroscopy, including a maximum of 20% teaching.

Background:
The successful candidate must have a background of at least 40 point Chemistry at the undergraduate level (Bachelors degree or equivalent) and an additional full-year studies at an advanced level, including a Masters thesis (or equivalent). Appropriate candidate should be knowledgeable in the chromatographic purification of complex reaction products related to
carbohydrate, heterocyclic and phosphate chemistry. Candidate should have a hand-on experience in multi-step synthesis of complex carbohydrate-based biomolecules and their purifications, as well as structural characterization using multi-dimensional NMR, mass, UV, CD and IR spectroscopy.

Basic knowledge of computational chemistry and physical organic chemistry will be regarded as a merit. Priority is given to those applicants who have a prior experience of performing a research project work after their Masters degree on the synthetic chemistry of DNA and RNA and their analogs combining the state-of-the-art . Experience in running a research project in a research and development environment in a pharmaceutical industry is an advantage.
