Highlights:
1. Two Postdoctoral Positions: Organic Synthesis and Nanomaterials
Department of Chemistry, University of Houston
2. The first one is on the synthesis and modification of biologically active compounds, in particular carbohydrates and peptides, and the development of highly efficient catalysts with low cytotoxicity for bioconjugation via click reactions.
3. The second one is on nanopatterning of organic thin films, modification of AFM cantilever tips and nanoparticles.
4. Successful candidates should have a strong background in organic synthesis or surface science as demonstrated by a record of publications in top journals.
5. The position with a competitive salary (>$35,000) is initially for 1-3 years.
6. Interested candidates with a Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry (may or may not involve biologically active compounds) or surface science should send CV to Dr. Chengzhi Cai via e-mail: cai@uh.edu.
7. Due to the high volume of applications, only the top candidates will be considered with correspondence.
