Dear Colleagues,
Please distribute this announcement.
Thanks,
Quincy
A postdoctoral position is available in the computational toxicology
research program at Ecosystem Research Division, National Exposure
Research Laboratory, US Environmental Protection Agency, in Athens,
Georgia. We are developing high-throughput NMR methodology for
assessing environmental toxicity and applying the methodology to study
metabolomics in fish species. The methodology development focuses on
characterizing metabolites in fish biofluids and tissues with the
development and extensive use of LC/NMR/MS and high-throughput
automation, whereas the application research includes identifying
markers of exposure from endocrine disruption in fish exposed to
chemicals, determining the mechanism of toxicity, and establishing a
metabolite data base of fish urine. Also, there are opportunities to
participate in other EPA on-going projects in computational toxicology.
The research will utilize two Varian 600 MHz systems at the EPA NMR
Facility in Athens, GA with such capabilities as LC/NMR/MS, cryogenic
probe, flow probe, high-resolution MAS probe and high-throughput
automation systems. We also have an access to the 800 MHz and 900 MHz
systems at the University of Georgia.
The applicant must have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, chemistry, or related
field, with extensive experience in solution NMR spectroscopy. Other
preferred qualifications include experiences in metabolomics, high
throughput automation, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. We
are looking for an individual who is able to design and conduct
experiments independently, and has interest in methods development and
implementations. The successful candidate is expected to participate in
on-going projects in computational toxicology, be involved in the
maintenance of two Varian 600 MHz systems and submit manuscripts to
peer-reviewed journals. Applicants should submit curriculum vitae,
including list of publications and a description of their present
research activity to:
