The Oberlies Research Group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is seeking a postdoctoral chemist for a suite of projects. All of these require a passion for working with fungi, both in the mycology and chemistry labs. The ideal candidate will have earned a Ph.D. in pharmacognosy, medicinal/organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and/or natural products chemistry. While the specific skill sets are somewhat flexible, direct experience with how to isolate, measure, and/or determine the structures of secondary metabolites with NMR and/or mass spectrometry is a requirement. In addition, direct experience with the growth and propagation of fungi is highly desirable.
Minimum Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Pharmacognosy, Medicinal/Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and or Natural Products Chemistry. At least one year experience.
- The ideal candidate will have some experience with the growth and maintenance of fungal cultures.
- In addition, this scientist will have demonstrated expertise in the isolation and structure elucidation of bioactive fungal metabolites; this includes familiarity with HPLC, flash chromatography, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy instruments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Pharmacognosy, Medicinal/Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and or Natural Products Chemistry. At least one year experience.
