Research Associate in Prebiotic Coacervates, Polymer Chemistry, and the Origin of Life Louisiana State University in United States

Louisiana State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar in Molecular Origins of Life to investigate how primitive molecular systems may have developed catalytic functions relevant to the emergence of life. The project will experimentally test the FoldCat hypothesis in collaboration with theoretical and experimental colleagues at SUNY and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The research will examine whether out-of-equilibrium synthesis of short, random peptide-like chains can generate lon...
