Two Postdoctoral Positions in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Toxicology:

There are two openings in the Lehmler laboratory at the University of Iowa for postdoctoral fellows to work on several recently funded collaborative projects investigating the disposition of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in animal models and in humans.

The organic chemistry position involves the synthesis of environmentally relevant polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their metabolites, and requires a strong background in organic synthesis. This position is supported by the Synthesis Core of the Iowa Superfund Research Program; a multidisciplinary research program that studies the distribution and toxicities of airborne PCBs. Experience with the quantification of reaction products using gas chromatography and enantioselective separations is desired. The successful Candidate for this position should have doctoral level training (Ph.D. or equivalent) in organic chemistry or a closely related field.

The position in chemical toxicology involves studies of the disposition of PCBs in laboratory animals and in humans. The overall goal of these studies is to understand how the route of exposure and metabolism affect the distribution of PCBs and their metabolites into target organs, such as the developing brain. Extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with gas/liquid chromatographic analyses is required. The successful Candidate for this position should have doctoral level training (Ph.D. or equivalent) in analytical toxicology, analytical chemistry or a closely related field.

Both positions require excellent communication skills and the willingness to work within a well-integrated interdisciplinary research team of organic chemists and analytical toxicologists.

Start date is negotiable, but would ideally be in early 2018. To apply, please send a current CV and the name and contact information for 3 references to:
