Research Associate position in the project “to elucidate the mechanisms of human ABC transporters through the development and application of time-resolved infrared spectroscopy”

The Biophysical Chemistry and Diagnostics working group is an interdisciplinary team operating at the interface between the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Chemistry. The aim of this project is to elucidate the mechanisms of human ABC transporters through the development and application of time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The ongoing development of the medical curriculum at the newly established Faculty of Medicine provides an opportunity to contribute to the development of modern teaching methods for scientific content.
