Lecturer (80%)
in the Section of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the field of Therapeutic Chemistry
INSTITUTE: The Pharmaceutical Sciences Section of the University of Geneva, ranked among the 40 best in the world by the QS World University Rankings, offers a dynamic and stimulating research environment. Driven by strong ambition, it is committed to meeting the major challenges of pharmaceutical sciences at the heart of a constantly evolving society.
Description
The Section is seeking applications for an 80% teaching position in Therapeutic Chemistry. This position is dedicated to research and teaching at bachelor, master and post-graduate levels in pharmaceutical sciences.
The candidate’s research will focus on pharmaceutical/ medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of small molecules and PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) acting on important therapeutic targets in the fields of cancer, rare diseases and infections. This research is in line with the research of the Pharmaceutical Biochemistry group and meets a need in the Section and the Faculty of Medicine for a chemistry platform capable of synthesizing small molecules for therapeutic purposes. This research also includes collaboration with private partners.
The successful candidate will reinforce the existing team of teaching staff in therapeutic chemistry in pharmaceutical sciences, whose teaching load is increasing, thanks particularly to the success of the pharmacy curriculum and new programs such as the master’s degree in biomedical sciences. In this context, the candidate will be involved in the teaching of therapeutic chemistry as head of the BUSP2 practical course (12H906 pharmaceutical chemistry practical course, 2 x 88 h), and the BUSP3 practical course (13H903, therapeutic chemistry practical course (R&D, 88h), as well as the Pharmaceutical Chemistry course (12H006, 22 h/52 h) as a teacher. Eventually, the candidate will increase the number of hours to 34 h/52 h and take over responsibility, possibly starting in September 2026. He/she will play an active role in the training chemistry laboratory apprentices as a trainer, as well as in familiarization activities in pharmaceutical chemistry and drug discovery within Pharmascope, as a dedicated service to the Cité. He/she will also be involved in the supervision of master’s students.
He/she will also take on management and organizational tasks for the Pharmaceutical Sciences Section and the Faculty.
