Postdoc in identification of novel AMPK modulators for therapeutic development

This postdoctoral position focuses on the identification of novel AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) modulators aimed at therapeutic development. The role requires advanced expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, particularly related to signal transduction pathways and metabolic regulation. Candidates should be proficient in experimental techniques such as high-throughput screening, compound library analysis, and biochemical assays to evaluate AMPK activity and modulation. Experience with cell culture models, enzyme kinetics, and possibly animal models for preclinical validation is essential. A strong background in drug discovery processes, including target validation and lead optimization, is important. Familiarity with data analysis software, bioinformatics tools, and statistical methods to interpret experimental results will be beneficial. The position demands a deep understanding of metabolic diseases and the therapeutic potential of AMPK modulation. Candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree in a relevant field such as biochemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, or related biomedical sciences. Excellent scientific communication skills, both written and oral, are necessary to contribute to publications and grant applications. Collaborative skills and the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams are also critical for success in this role. Overall, this postdoctoral opportunity is suited for researchers with a strong foundation in biochemical research and drug development, aiming to advance novel therapeutic agents targeting AMPK.
