A postdoctoral position is available in the Franzini research group affiliated with the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City). The preferred start date for this appointment is between October 2015 and January 2016. Position summary: The candidate will perform research at the interface of Chemistry, Biology and Medicine pursuing the development of experimental therapeutic modalities with translational potential as anticancer agents. Research activities will focus on the design and development of reaction-based therapeutics and molecular tumor-targeting strategies. These projects will involve the synthesis and characterization of lead molecules and their assessment in biological assays and disease models. Qualifications: An ideal candidate is highly motivated to advance his/her career by implementing ambitious research projects and has a demonstrated ability to work independently. Minimal requirements include a Ph.D. in Organic/Medicinal Chemistry or a related discipline as well as excellent theoretical and practical knowledge of preparative and analytical Chemistry. A profound understanding of concepts in Biology and Medicine would be advantageous. The candidate should be thoroughly trained in experimental techniques in the field of Organic Chemistry (multi-step synthesis, solid-phase peptide synthesis, chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques). Hands-on experience in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and with imaging and biodistribution studies would be an asset. Enthusiasm to learn novel techniques and concepts is anticipated. A successful candidate should contribute to an environment, which favors safe laboratory practice and high scientific ethical standards. Good interpersonal and communication skills (oral and written) are prerequisites. Location: The work place will be located in the all-new Skaggs Pharmacy Research Building with access to state of the art scientific facilities. The campus of the University of Utah is close to downtown Salt Lake City. This setting combines the amenities of a metropolitan area with the world-class outdoor recreational activities Utah has to offer. Salt Lake City is also nearby some of the most iconic landmarks of the USA. |
