Professor of Protein Design in Health and Medicine

This role of Professor of Protein Design in Health and Medicine requires advanced expertise in protein engineering, molecular biology, and biochemistry with a focus on applications in health and medicine. The ideal candidate should possess a deep understanding of protein structure, function, and design principles, including computational and experimental methods for protein modeling and engineering. Experience with techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, cryo-electron microscopy, and high-throughput screening is valuable. Proficiency in bioinformatics tools, molecular dynamics simulations, and software for protein design (e.g., Rosetta) is essential. The position demands a strong academic background, likely a PhD or equivalent in biochemistry, molecular biology, bioengineering, or related fields, along with a robust publication record and experience in leading research projects. Additionally, the candidate should have skills in interdisciplinary collaboration, grant writing, and mentoring graduate students. Knowledge of translational research and the ability to bridge basic protein design with clinical applications in medicine is important. Familiarity with regulatory standards and ethical considerations in biomedical research enhances the candidate's suitability. Overall, this senior academic role requires a combination of theoretical knowledge, practical laboratory skills, computational proficiency, and leadership capabilities to advance protein design innovations that impact health and medicine.
