Job Description
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the area of natural product biosynthesis at the University of Florida. Successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary research team to identify bioactive small molecules in nematodes using comparative metabolomics and NMR spectroscopy and to study their biosynthesis and biological activity. A Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, or a closely related field is required. The candidate should be eager to use chemistry expertise to solve biological problems and should have training in one of the following: (1) the use of protein biochemistry to study natural product biosynthesis or (2) the use of HPLC, LC/MS and NMR spectroscopy and/or comparative metabolomics to identify natural products and study their biosynthesis. The candidate should have a demonstrated ability to publish results and a willingness to collaborate with others. Please send cover letter, CV, and names of references to Prof. Rebecca Butcher at [email protected]. Applications will be evaluated until the position is filled.
