Postdoctoral Research Associate - IUPUI

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the lab of Robert Minto at IUPUI in Indianapolis for a Ph.D. graduate with a background appropriate to a modern natural product chemical study of the alkamide biosynthesis pathway, which lies at the confluence of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. Projects include transcriptional and metabolic profiling and isotopic tracing to identify key transformations. Candidates with skills applying biochemistry, organic chemistry, or NMR/MS to biological problems are preferred. Applications, including a CV and bibliography, summary of past accomplishments, and the names and email addresses of 3 references, should be sent to rminto@iupui.edu with the subject "Reply to postdoc ad".

Postdoctoral Research Associate - San Diego State

A post-doctoral position is available in a chemical biology lab. The post-doc researcher would assist in the development of a new series of potential cancer therapeutics. This work would include investigation of the mechanism of action of novel anti-cancer compounds using a number of biological techniques. Thus, a successful candidate would have ideally have knowledge and skills in: PCR, cloning, protein expression and purification, pull-down studies, affinity purification, Western blots, binding assays, confocal microscopy, expression profiling, siRNA, and cellular pharmacology. In addition, the candidate should be willing to work on mice models in conjunction with collaborators. This work is funded by a 4 year NIH grant that started May 2009.

Depending on experience, salary will range between $32,304 - $42,000, with the appointment length being one year with potential to extend to up to 3 years based on productivity.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, and names of three references to Shelli R. McAlpine, Ph.D. at mcalpine@sciences.sdsu.edu

Candidates should be highly motivated with a Ph.D. in one of the major biological sciences and a track record of research productivity. The position will remain open until filled.
