The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (https://chem.uncg.edu/) features an extremely supportive and collegial environment with 15 full-time faculty and a diverse student body. We offer a BS in Biochemistry, a BA, BS, and MS in Chemistry including biochemistry options, and a PhD in Medicinal Biochemistry.

Excellent core instrumentation and state of the art facilities for NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry with full time support staff are available on site.

The Oberlies Research Group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is seeking a postdoctoral chemist for a suite of projects. All of these require a passion for working with fungi, both in the mycology and chemistry labs. The ideal candidate will have earned a Ph.D. in pharmacognosy, medicinal/organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and/or natural products chemistry. While the specific skill sets are somewhat flexible, direct experience with how to isolate, measure, and/or determine the structures of secondary metabolites with NMR and/or mass spectrometry is a requirement. In addition, direct experience with the growth and propagation of fungi is highly desirable.

1 year appointment with option for renewal.
