About this position

Duke University School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry, is recruiting postdoctoral researchers in the Yokoyama Lab led by Kenichi Yokoyama (Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry, Duke University).

The lab works in natural product biochemistry with two main research directions: metalloenzymes in natural product and cofactor biosynthesis, and fungal cell wall biosynthesis and antifungal development. The post highlights mechanistic, discovery-oriented research at the interface of enzymology, natural product chemistry, chemical biology, and fungal biochemistry.

Preferred candidates should have a strong interest in enzyme function and mechanism and appropriate training in biochemistry, chemical biology, or organic chemistry. The flyer notes that the lab uses interdisciplinary approaches including biochemical techniques, mechanistic studies, and related experimental methods to study metalloenzymes and fungal biosynthetic systems.

This is an NIH-funded opportunity. The post does not list a stipend amount or deadline, but it does invite informal inquiries and provides a lab website for more information.

To apply, candidates should email a cover letter, CV, and three references to [email protected].

Funding details

NIH-funded postdoctoral and graduate positions are available in the Yokoyama lab. The post emphasizes hands-on research training and a strong record of alumni success in academic and industrial careers. No stipend amount or tuition details are provided.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong interest in enzyme function and mechanism and appropriate biochemical or chemical training. The flyer specifically seeks postdoctoral candidates with a strong background in biochemistry/biochemistry-related chemistry or synthetic organic chemistry. Experience or interest in mechanistic enzymology, natural product chemistry, chemical biology, and interdisciplinary research is preferred.
