Job Description
hat We Are Looking For
Chemical Biology:
We are hoping to extend our expertise by identifying exceptionally motivated individuals with a Ph.D. and a background in chemical biology with priority given to candidates with expertise in using chemical probes or proteintargeting small molecules to enable cell isolation.
Candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. and have a background in chemical biology biochemistry or a related field prior to beginning their assignment. The candidate must be able to independently design and execute experiments.
Additional skills of interest include experience in one or more of the following areas: application of chemical molecules/tools to biological systems cell sorting pathogen biology proteomics chemical synthesis biochemistry microbiology protein expression cell culture cell biology molecular biology genetics and/or functional assays.
Candidates with a focus in chemical biology will be expected to:
- Develop and execute independent research in phenotypedriven microbiome studies using chemical biology strategies
- Perform laboratory research using chemical biology with heavy emphasis on selective isolation of cells from microbiomes based on phenotype
- Perform fluorescenceactivated cell sorting (FACS) organic synthesis carbohydrate chemistry microbiology molecular biology and proteomics
Organic Chemistry:
We are also wishing to identify exceptionally motivated individuals with a Ph.D. and a background in organic chemistry with priority given to candidates with expertise in synthesis of chemical probes proteintargeting small molecules or natural products. Candidates must be able to develop and execute independent research in chemical syntheses. Prior experience applying small molecules to biological systems is beneficial but not required.
Candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. and have a background in organic chemistry or a related field prior to beginning their assignment. Due to the specialized research of the Wright Group individuals with expertise in organometallic chemistry or inorganic chemistry will not be prioritized for this role.
Additional skills of interest include experience in one or more of the following areas: reverse phase separations carbohydrate chemistry synthesis of fluorescent molecules and/or application of small molecules to biological systems.
Candidates with a focus in organic will be expected to:
- Develop and execute independent research in synthetic organic chemistry
- Prepare high purity probe compounds using normal phase and reverse phase separations
- Perform highthroughput synthetic chemistry when appropriate
- Work in a modern synthetic chemistry lab with advanced separations capabilities
The successful candidate will be expected to collaboratively develop novel ideas and methods for applications relevant to internal and externally funded research programs. In addition the selected candidate will be required to contribute to and possibly lead the preparation of reports papers posters presentations etc.
A complete application will contain the following documents:
- Uptodate CV
- List of 3 references that will be able to supply a letter of recommendation upon request
- Cover letter which should include a concise Research Statement

All candidates will be expected to:
- Keep accurate and current records of all results from experiments performed document methods and processes.
- Present your research in group meetings and at national meetings.
- Provide mentorship to graduate and undergraduate students.
- Participate in the proposal writing and submission process.
- Perform all other duties as assigned to support Baylors mission.
- Comply with University policies.
- Maintain regular and punctual attendance.
