Position Summary
Synthetic organic chemist position focused on the design and construction of novel molecules for biological targets towards first-in-class chemical tools and preclinical lead molecules. The post-doctoral scholar will be responsible for the design, construction and characterization of novel heterocyclic compounds possessing improved properties such as potency and selectivity. For each project we have partnered with expertise-specific laboratories to facilitate the interrogation of the compound's biological activity. Thus, this position is dedicated to the development of new synthetic methods and routes to the target scaffolds and their application to construct optimized analogues. Research is conducted within the highly collaborative environment of the UNC Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery. Numerous opportunities exist at UNC for presenting research and developing new skills (i.e. workshops, short courses, presenting research and collaborations). For a more information about the group's research see: http://frankowskilab.web.unc.edu/.
