Description
The research group of Dr. E. Plettner seeks to fill one postdoctoralposition in synthetic organic chemistry. General information about ourresearch programs can be found at:http://www.sfu.ca/chemistry/faculty/plettner/ and athttp://www.sfu.ca/chemistry/CERG. The project requires the synthesis ofodorant and tastant analogs, which will be tested against targetproteins from the olfactory system of various serious pest insects. Theultimate goal is to find lead compounds for the development of new pestcontrol agents. The successful candidate is expected to synthesize andcharacterize the compounds, and to publish the research associated withthe design, synthesis and validation of the compounds. The candidatewill also be trained to perform rapid binding assays of the synthesizedcompounds with insect odorant-binding proteins. Other colleagues in theteam will test the behavioral and physiological activity of the compounds.
The position is available, starting in May of 2008.
Applicants should mail their CV, at least one and up to threerepresentative reprints, a summary of their most significant researchaccomplishments and the names and addresses of three persons who arewilling to provide a reference. For the reprint(s), the candidate shouldplease clearly state what her/his contribution has been to eachpublication included with the application. If using e-mail, please namethe files with your last name, your initial and content, e. g.“lastname_a_cv” or “lastname_a_pub1”. Please convert files to PDF formatprior to sending.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Simon FraserUniversity is located in the greater Vancouver area, which offers manycultural and recreational opportunities. Our research group is committedto employment equity, welcomes diversity in the workplace, andencourages applications from all qualified individuals.
