At Boehringer Ingelheim, we are committed to advancing covalent drug discovery through cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS-)based chemical proteomics capabilities. As part of this effort, we aim to establish innovative methods to directly identify covalent binding sites of compounds, providing critical insights into target engagement within cellular contexts and potentially in vivo samples. Furthermore, these methods will enable us to assess the selectivity of advanced compounds against off-targets, driving precision and innovation in our research. Join us in shaping the future of covalent drug discovery and making a meaningful impact on patient lives.

You will gain an insight into the following topics and tasks

----------------------------------------------------------------

This position begins with a comprehensive introduction to MS-based proteomics, accompanied by hands-on training on state-of-the-art mass spectrometers. You will develop and implement methods to analyze covalent binding of small molecules to proteins, contributing to innovative chemical proteomics applications. You will establish and (semi-)automate experimental workflows and sample preparation procedures for MS-based chemical proteomics studies, ensuring reproducibility and scalability. You will fine-tune LC-MS parameters to optimize throughput while maintaining high peptide and protein coverage. You will regularly report, discuss, and document results with your supervisor, while independently designing and executing experiments to advance project goals.
