RESEARCH POSITION OFFER
Job Summary
We are offering a research position in the Antibody Engineering & Membrane Biophysics in Disease Lab at the IBF (Leioa), under the supervision of Dr. Edurne Rujas.
The research project focuses on generating and characterizing non-agglutinating anti-A, anti-B, and anti-Rh antibodies to enable accurate blood typing. These efforts are part of a broader research project aimed at studying drug-induced hemolysis in G6PDH-deficient individuals. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in antibody engineering and be capable of contributing effectively to the team’s research objectives.
Job Description & Benefits
The Institute of Biophysics (IBF) is a joint research centre of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). In collaboration with Fundación BiofÃsica Bizkaia (FBB), the centre advances knowledge on the physical and chemical processes underlying biology and disease. With FBB accredited as a Basque Excellence Research Centre (BERC) by the Basque Government, the IBF–FBB partnership enjoys a strong national and international reputation and provides outstanding shared facilities for advanced biophysical and structural biology research in a new building on the main UPV/EHU Leioa campus.
