We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc for a 18-months position commencing 1 April 2024 or as soon as possible hereafter. The successful candidate will develop new pretargeted imaging aiming to quantify the target binding of monoclonal antibodies.

Our research
The Herth group´s research focusses on the development of radiopharmaceutical drugs investigating brain function. In particular, PET radiopharmaceuticals targeting the serotonergic system have been developed over the years. The group consist currently of 10 members (4 PostDocs, 3 PhDs, and 3 Master students).

Your job
Pretargeted imaging and therapy has the potential to revolutionize current clinical routine. Outstanding target-to-background ratios can be reached using this approach. However, preclinical strategies beyond the blood-brain barrier are in its infancy. Brain uptake of the pretargeting vectors is limited and no stable probes exist that allow for precise quantification of the target. Within this project, the successful candidate will develop new methods to increase the brain uptake of the pretargeting vector, synthesize and radiolabel new agents and evaluation their success in vivo. The candidate will be responsible to plan, execute and manage the project with respect to probe production and their evaluation via molecular imaging.

Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:

Essential experience and skills:

  • You have a PhD in radiopharmaceutical chemistry/biology or in a related field
  • You are highly experienced in molecular imaging
  • You have been working with bioorthogonal chemistry
