Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organic Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Medicinal Chemistry at Wake Forest University Wake Forest University in United States

The Lukesh Group in the Department of Chemistry at Wake Forest University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for interdisciplinary research in organic chemistry, chemical biology, and medicinal chemistry.

The project focuses on the development of small-molecule donors, prodrugs, and reaction-based sensors to study the biological and therapeutic roles of reactive sulfur species and reactive selenium species. This is a strong fit for candidates with training in synthetic organic chemistry and interest in chemical tools for biological systems.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Medicinal Chemistry, or a related field. Strong synthetic skills are required, along with excellent communication and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary setting. Experience with cell culture, biological assays, or fluorescence imaging is considered a plus.
