Post Doctoral Vacancy at Rutgers University for Synthetic Organic Chemists



A postdoctoral research position is available in the Department of Chemistry at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey, US. This position will be the inaugural appointment in the multidisciplinary Center for Sustainable Synthesis. 

The postdoctoral researcher will be working to develop a cascade reaction combining enzyme- and transition metal-catalyzed reactions. 

The postdoctoral researcher will be co-mentored by professors Frank Jordan and Michal Szostak for the enzymatic and synthetic organic chemistry aspects of the project, respectively. A successful candidate will have a Ph.D. degree and a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in asymmetric synthesis and/or catalysis, and will be able to start on or about September 1, 2015. The initial appointment is for 9 months. The application deadline is Monday June 22, 2015. 


Applications should include a CV and a research summary. Only applicants who progress to the interview round will be notified of the status of their application. Application materials and questions should be directed to: Prof. Stacey BrennerMoyer, seb244@rutgers.edu. Please include the phrase, “Center for Sustainable Synthesis” in the subject line of all correspondence with Prof. Brenner-Moyer.
