Company Description

The University Ramon Llull is a confederation of schools, faculties and departments. IQS is its oldest founding member and consists of two major schools, the School of Engineering and the School of Management that form each an administrative grouping of departments and other institutions among which there are three strategic academic divisions: IQS Executive Education that offers cutting-edge and transformative learning experiences to business leaders; IQS Tech Transfer that promotes research with impact, innovation and technology transfer for companies and organizations and IQS Tech Factory that fosters entrepreneurship and supports the creation of new scientific-technological companies.

With 100 years of teaching experience, IQS is a university center of reference, committed to donating responses to the continuum of challenges that the social, economic, technological and industrial context poses.

Our mission and commitment are to cultivate individuals with values and competencies needed to flourish humanely and professionally.

Position

Location: IQS School of Engineering – Ramon Llull University, Barcelona (Spain)

The ChemSynBio Group

Join our dynamic ChemSynBio team, where we harness chemical and synthetic biology to create biotherapeutics and biomedical tools, focusing on brain diseases and brain transport (www.chemsynbio.iqs.edu). We aim to pursue groundbreaking research and grow together!

Project Overview

Current treatments against brain diseases have very low efficacy due to the incapacity of most drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Our project OBGate, funded by the prestigious European Research Council (ERC-2022-STG #101077370), seeks to understand receptor-mediated transport across the BBB and develop new strategies to deliver large therapeutics into the brain with unprecedented efficiency and selectivity.

Key Responsibilities

Develop high-throughput screening cell-based BBB models.

Utilize advanced molecular biology, proteomics and microscopy to study transcytosis.

Engineer recombinant proteins on brain endothelial cells to enhance transcytosis.

Collaborate closely with projectand group researchers.

Contribute to an inspiring atmosphere and engage in team activities.

Supervise students and prepare scientific publications.

Offer conditions

Competitive postdoctoral salary commensurate with experience.

3 years of funding with support for additional funding applications (e.g. MSCA).

Training opportunities and international conference attendance.

Space for creativity, with dedicated mentorship and team support.

Possibility to supervise PhD and MSc students.

Proposed starting date: September 2025

Requirements

PhD degree in molecular and cell biology or related field.

Valuable experience: BBB cell models, cell trafficking, proteomics, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, protein engineering, advanced microscopy, experiments with mice.

Skills: Proactivity, creativity, strong motivation for high impact research, excellent teamwork and communication skills, and fluency in English.
