The FWF funded project studies the interaction of small molecules with human ABC-transporters and their potential application in the treatment of diseases associated with aberrant protein folding. Applicants must hold an MSc degree with a strong background in molecular biology. We are looking for highly motivated candidates of all nationalities who have a keen interest in our research topic. We offer a multidisciplinary research environment within the framework of a collaborative special research program focused on membrane transporters (www.sfb35.at, project part 3509). In order to take advantage of this environment we expect and encourage an explorative attitude and excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
