The NanoCapture team is developing selective delivery of nanomedicines to treat cancers. We are based at the Department of Pharmacy, LMU Munich, embedded within the Dr. Thorn-Seshold research group. Recently, the NanoCapture team won the prestigious GO-Bio grant from the German Federal Government - BMBF, to perform preclinical studies and move our innovative project towards a spin-off.

To strengthen our interdisciplinary team, we are looking for a Translational Research Scientist. The ideal candidate should have strong background in assessing cancer drug pharmacokinetics and toxicology in relevant in vivo tumor models. She/he will be responsible for establishing and performing preclinical studies to characterize in detail the mode of action and efficacy of the NanoCapture technology. A strong entrepreneurial drive is highly appreciated. The position is available from January 2019 initially for 3 years (salary according to the TV-L) with possible extension.

Main responsibilities:

• Establishment and conduction of in vivo tumor studies in various animal models
• Development and performance of in vivo ADME studies
• Data interpretation and manuscript preparation (patent and publications)
• Presentation and reporting the research outcome internally and externally
• Planning further NanoCapture scientific development

Skills and Requirements:

• PhD (or M.Sc. with equivalent research experience) in an appropriate field (biology, biochemistry, pharmacy etc.)
• Practical experience in establishment and working with in vivo tumor models (i.e. drug PK/PD and toxicology studies)
• Experience with drug biodistribution assays and follow-on tissue analysis (HPLC, LC-MS etc.)
• Self-starter attitude, inventive problem solver comfortable to work independently and in a team
• Excellent presentation and communication skills

Would you like to be a part of an interdisciplinary group working on novel cancer therapy? You want to make real impact and have a significant role in a small and dynamic team? Gain experience in a project working towards a spin-off founding?
