Postdoc Opportunities in Analytical Chemistry in Italy

The University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance mass-spectrometry-based palaeoproteomics. The project targets ancient protein traces preserved in fossil material, including remains more than one million years old, with the goal of recovering longer and higher-quality amino-acid sequences for improved phylogenetic reconstruction of extinct hominids and other fossil taxa. The postdoc will develop novel workflows spanning sample preparation, chromatogr...

This postdoctoral research position is part of the Grand Programme de Recherche Post-Petroleum Materials (PPM) at Université de Bordeaux. The project aims to rethink materials chemistry through a circular chemistry approach that improves durability, reduces energy use, minimizes waste, and promotes the use of bio-resources, recycling, and in situ monitoring of material use and degradation. The research focuses on the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) built from organic aromatic r...

This research opportunity at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention focuses on improving how volatile chemicals are evaluated for inhalation hazards. The project addresses a major challenge in inhalation science: measured exposure concentration does not always match the amount of chemical delivered to or absorbed by airway cells in dynamic exposure systems. The work brings together exposure engineering, analytical chemistry, cell biology, an...

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to join its applied nanotechnology lab in Pittsburgh. The role centers on the development and execution of research projects on multivalent DNA origami nanosensors , combining experimental nanotechnology, molecular design, and quantitative analysis in a multidisciplinary research setting. The successful candidate will work on lab activities related to cloning and/or synthesis of nucleic...

This postdoctoral fellowship is based at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Southern Regional Research Center in New Orleans. The project sits within USDA-ARS Project 6054-41000-107-00D, Nutritional Benefits of Health-Promoting Rice and Value-Added Foods , and focuses on developing activated food products from rice for applications in human diets that promote health and nutrition. The fellow will work on studies of phytoalexin induction and related bioactiv...

This Research Associate II position at Virginia Tech is based in the Food Analysis Laboratory in the Biochemistry Department and focuses on sponsored research in quantitative food analysis. The work centers on analytical chemistry for nutrients in foods, with an emphasis on bringing established assays back online, validating methods, and generating high-quality data for study samples. The successful candidate will work with liquid/liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, precise gravimetric me...

UMR PAM, a research unit associated with Université Bourgogne Europe, Institut Agro Dijon, and INRAE, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR-funded SUMO project in Dijon, France. The project investigates how sulfites bind to and are released from wine, and how these mechanisms affect the accurate determination of free and total SO₂. The researcher will study sulfite interactions in model and real wines while contributing to the development and evaluation of reliable analytical methods....

This postdoctoral fellowship is based with the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, and centers on chemistry-driven research to develop value-added products from low-value biomass. The project looks at plant and animal residues as well as other waste streams such as food waste and municipal waste, with an emphasis on extracting, modifying, and characterizing biomass-derived materials and their derivatives. Working under mentor Majher Sarker , the fellow will help identif...

This postdoctoral position in Texas A&M AgriLife Research’s Department of Horticultural Sciences is based in College Station, Texas, and is attached to the Vegetable and Fruit Improvement Center. The role sits within a research environment that brings together crop science, food chemistry, microbiology, and analytical method development across Texas A&M AgriLife. The successful researcher will lead and coordinate laboratory activities and contribute to a broad project portfolio focused on bioact...
