The Laboratory for Targeted Cancer Therapeutics of Prof. Dr. Oliver Hantschel at the Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Physiological Chemistry at the University of Marburg, Germany, is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher/Fellow. The position is offered for a period of 4 years and is funded by the ERC Synergy grant CARAMEL. The starting date is 01 April 2026. The position is fulltime with salary and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13).

The CARAMEL project (Covalent Chaotropic Membrane Transport for Biotherapeutic Delivery) aims to overcome one of the biggest challenges in medicine: efficiently delivering modern biotherapeutics, such as peptides and proteins, into cells - a key hurdle in developing new treatments for cancer and other diseases. This should be accomplished over the course of the next 6 years using superchaotropic boron-clusters. The CARAMEL team will be composed of several PhD students and postdoctoral fellows at the Hantschel lab in Marburg, the Universities in Santiago de Compostela (Montenegro lab), Bremen (Nau lab) and Bern (Luciani lab). The position offers a unique collaborative research environment with generous funding as part of a cross-disciplinary team in Marburg and includes regular and frequent scientific exchange with the three other project sites. The aim is to create self-delivering peptide and protein hybrids and establish the fundamental rules governing this transport mode through biochemical screening/characterization, and quantitative cellular delivery assays in cancer cells.

Secondments: The successful candidate would have the opportunity to undertake potential secondments in the laboratories of the other ERC Synergy PIs (Santiago, Bremen and Bern) to gain complementary skills and access specialised facilities, subject to the project plan and mutual agreement.
