南丹麦大学医药化学博士后职位

A postdoctoral position in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis is available from November 2012 at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Southern Denmark. The position is for one year.

The relevant project involves design and synthesis of receptor ligands and development of new synthetic methods related to this. The free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1, also known as GPR40), which is implicated in regulation of insulin secretion and a potential new target for treatment of diabetes, will be central in the project.

The successful candidate should have a PhD in organic or medicinal chemistry or a closely related field, thorough documented experience within organic synthesis, high motivation and excellent communication skills. An interest for molecular biology is an advantage. Some experience with molecular modelling would also be an advantage, but not a requirement.

Application deadline is 14 September 2012 at 12 o’clock noon.
