About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, School of Pharmacy in the United States.

The position is in the lab of Dr. Jennifer E. Golden and supports a multidisciplinary project focused on the development of small antiviral drug complexes and studies relevant to FDA approval via the IND (Investigational New Drug) program.

Research activities include organic synthesis on a multi-gram scale, development of antiviral drug compounds, and analytical characterization using NMR, mass spectrometry (MS), trace minerals analysis, and chiral HPLC to evaluate stereopurity. The role also involves documenting experiments, analyzing results, and collaborating with experts in virology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, and process chemistry.

Required background: a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry or a closely related field with a strong synthetic chemistry focus, plus excellent hands-on lab experience, English proficiency, strong communication and teamwork skills, deadline management, and strict adherence to lab safety. Preferred experience includes scaling reactions from gram to multi-gram quantities and at least one first-author paper in a peer-reviewed journal.

Application materials: CV, a motivational letter describing research experience and scientific interests, and contact details for three referees. Applications should be emailed to [email protected]. The post does not list a deadline, so applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
