The Petersen research group is focused on solving important synthetic problems using basic principles of organic chemistry. In particular we are interested in the development of new methods for the asymmetric synthesis of biologically important molecules and in the design and synthesis of new drug targets.
We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Synthetic Chemist. The ideal candidate would have a strong background in asymmetric synthesis, be proficient in laboratory techniques (NMR, chiral GC and HPLC), possess strong written and oral communication skills, and be willing to teach basic synthetic skills to undergraduate and new graduate students.
