The research group of Prof. Daniel Merk at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team in the Department of Pharmacy. This PhD project aims to uncover the molecular details of nuclear receptor interactions with small-molecule ligands to support therapeutic development.
The primary techniques involved will include recombinant protein expression and purification, crystal growth, X-ray data collection, and structure elucidation. Additional methods will encompass biophysical measurements of binding affinities (e.g., BLI, ITC) and biochemical assays (e.g., HTRF). To apply, please send your CV, a cover letter detailing your research experience and motivation, and contact information for two references to vasily.morozov@cup.lmu.de.
