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 at Duke University.

The lab focuses on two main research directions: metalloenzymes in natural product and cofactor biosynthesis, and fungal cell wall biosynthesis and antifungal development. The flyer highlights research on enzyme function and mechanism, radical SAM enzymes, natural product chemistry, cofactor biosynthesis, fungal cell wall biosynthesis, and antifungal action/development.

This is an NIH-funded opportunity. The lab seeks candidates with a strong interest in enzyme function and mechanism and appropriate biochemical or chemical training. The flyer also notes that successful postdoctoral fellows and graduate students will gain hands-on experience with biochemical techniques and hypothesis-driven research at the interface of enzymology, natural product chemistry, and chemical biology.

Relevant background areas include biochemistry, chemistry, enzymology, structural biology, bioinformatics, bacterial and fungal genetics, and synthetic organic chemistry. The post emphasizes interdisciplinary work and collaboration, including work connected to fungal cell wall biosynthesis and antifungal discovery/development.

To apply, candidates should email a cover letter, CV, and three references to [email protected]. Informal inquiries are welcome. More information about the lab is available at the Yokoyama Lab website.

Funding details

NIH-funded postdoctoral and graduate positions are available. The post explicitly states the positions are NIH-funded, but no stipend amount or tuition details are provided.

What's required

Candidates 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 fields or synthetic organic chemistry. Experience or interest in natural product chemistry, enzymology, structural biology, bioinformatics, bacterial/fungal genetics, or related techniques is relevant.
