Scientist / Junior Scientist in Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy (M/F)
Rejoindre Novalix c’est avant tout faire partie d’une entreprise dynamique, aux valeurs humaines fortes et ambitieuses! Nous avons hâte d’en savoir davantage sur vous 😊
Job Description
Under the supervision of the Head of NMR, you will join a multidisciplinary Structural Biology and Biophysics team supporting pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients in their drug discovery programs.
Working closely with experts in Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Native Mass Spectrometry, HDX-MS, Cryo-EM and X-ray Crystallography, you will contribute to the characterization of biomolecular interactions and the structural investigation of proteins and protein-ligand complexes.
You will be expected to:
Design, perform and interpret advanced biomolecular NMR experiments for protein and protein-ligand characterization.
Conduct ligand-observed and protein-observed NMR assays to support hit identification, hit validation and fragment-based drug discovery projects.
Perform multidimensional NMR analyses to characterize binding events, chemical shift perturbations and structural changes induced by ligand binding.
Independently perform resonance assignments using state-of-the-art methodologies and computational tools.
Analyze and interpret NMR datasets to provide structural and mechanistic insights supporting client projects.
Contribute to the development, validation and implementation of new NMR methodologies and applications.
Prepare protocols, SOPs and technical documentation.
Present results to internal teams and clients through written and oral reports.
Participate in troubleshooting activities and continuous improvement of NMR workflows and instrumentation.
