This master’s thesis is offered in cooperation with Prof. Pedro Murcia, Medical University of Graz, as part of the Twin4Pharma project.
Master's Thesis in Computational Chemistry
Computationally-driven purification processes for small molecules
We are looking for a motivated and talented MSc Student to join our laboratory of Computer-Aided
Molecular Design at the Medical University of Graz (Austria). The successful MSc candidate will work in
the context of the COMET project Digital and Green (Twin) Transition of Pharmaceutical Product and Process
Development Twin4Pharma (https://www.rcpe.at/en/twin4pharma) lead by the Research Center
Pharmaceutical Engineering (RCPE). The main goal of Twin4Pharma is to deliver novel computational
methods to speed up sustainable process development, and to reduce failures and the experimental burden.
WHAT IS THIS POSITION ABOUT?
This MSc thesis is planned for 6-months and is entirely computational (do not worry: you may not enter the
wet-lab). Your tasks will focus on the computation and prediction of molecular properties of relevant
pharmaceutical molecules (i.e. solubility, stability) as well as in their interactions with other molecules of
interest, to help in the pharmaceutical production and purification processes. A variety of methods will be use,
from classical to quantum mechanics, including artificial intelligence algorithms.
WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY TO THIS POSITION?
-
Interdisciplinary team, with players from both Academia and Industry
-
Hands on a plethora of computational methods for computing molecular properties
-
We offer economical support upon completion of the MSc Thesis
-
We are nice people and Graz is beautiful
HOW TO APPLY FOR?
If you are interested on the position, you can send (1) your CV and (2) a letter of motivation as PDF files to
[email protected].
