JOB VACANCY

Teaching responsibilities:

• Develop and deliver courses in therapeutic and pharmacological chemistry, integrating key concepts such as rational drug design, structure-activity relationships, and the synthesis of bioactive compounds.
• Design and update teaching materials, taking into account advances in the design of new therapeutic agents and modern approaches in medicinal chemistry.
• Organize practical work and workshops allowing students to apply theoretical principles to the synthesis and analysis of therapeutic substances.
• Supervise students during research projects and internships in therapeutic chemistry, providing methodological and scientific support.
• Assess student performance through exams, practical work, synthesis projects and case studies.

Research activities:

• Conduct research on the design of new compounds with therapeutic potential, using molecular modeling techniques, biological screening and synthetic chemistry.
• Publish articles in scientific journals specialized in therapeutic or medicinal chemistry.
• Supervise research projects carried out by master’s or doctoral students in the field of drug chemistry.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (biologists, pharmacologists) to evaluate the biological activity of new molecules and their potential as therapeutic agents.
• Participate in research programs funded by public or private organizations by submitting project proposals aimed at discovering new drugs or improving existing molecules.

Technical skills:

• In-depth knowledge of therapeutic chemistry: mastery of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology concepts, notably drug design, structure-activity relationships, synthetic chemistry and optimization of bioactive molecules.
• Research skills in therapeutic chemistry: experience in designing and implementing research projects on new therapeutic compounds, including organic synthesis, molecular modeling, and evaluation of biological activity.
• Drug design skills: ability to identify therapeutic targets, design active compounds, and optimize their pharmacological, toxicological, and physicochemical properties.

Know-how:

• Proficiency in English: ability to communicate effectively in English, orally and in writing, to collaborate with international research teams and access scientific publications.
• Analytical and creative thinking: ability to analyze complex data and propose innovative solutions in the design of new molecules for therapeutic purposes.
• Interdisciplinary collaboration: ability to work in teams with researchers in biology, pharmacology and other disciplines to promote an integrated approach to drug discovery.
