Job Description
Synthetic organic chemist position focused on the design and construction of novel molecules towards firstinclass chemical tools and preclinical lead molecules. The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for the design construction and characterization of novel heterocyclic molecules possessing improved potency and selectivity. For each project we have partnered with leading external research experts to facilitate the interrogation of the compounds biological activity. Thus this position is dedicated to the development of new synthetic methods and routes to the target scaffolds and their application to construct new high impact molecules. Research is conducted within the highly collaborative environment of the UNC Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery. Numerous opportunities exist at UNC for presenting research and developing new skills (i.e. workshops short courses internships and collaborations). For a more information about the groups research see: Duties: * Perform research in synthetic organic chemistry 75. The primary duty is to design and carry out experiments leading to the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules. The following subtasks are associated with his duty: * Carry out literature searches relevant to the research topic. * Contribute significantly to the cleaning organization and maintenance of the laboratory and equipment. * Be acquainted and uptodate with laboratory safety protocols and employ them in the course of all work. * Keep detailed notes and records pertaining to all research work and be comfortable with the required use of electronic notebook software. * Interpreting data and using results to drive additional experimental design. * Active participation in scientific group meetings departmental seminars and problem sessions 10. * Contribute to the preparation and submission of reports patents and publications related to research 15.
