今天一个要好的老板给的消息,Dr Yinan Wei人特别的nice, 强烈推荐有意向的同学和她联系以下

Two postdoctoral research positions are available at the Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky.
For the first position, a postdoctoral research Fellow is sought to conduct research under the direction of Dr. Leonidas Bachas at the interface of electrochemistry and biochemistry.  Ideal candidates should have a PhD Degree in Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related discipline.  The candidate should  have previous experience and thorough knowledge of electricochemical techniques, and be comfortable with protein immobilization and electrochemical characterization methodologies.  Good English communication skills and teamwork spirit are required.  Knowledge of basic molecular biology techniques including cloning, protein expression and purification is a plus.

For the second position, a postdoctoral research Fellow is sought to conduct research under the direction of Dr. Yinan Wei, in the area of biophysical characterization of Multidrug Resistant (MDR) proteins, including membrane transporters and regulators.  The fellow will also spend 50% effort on analyzing PCB contents in animal tissue samples with GC-MS.  Ideal candidates will have a PhD Degree in Biochemistry (or related discipline) and be comfortable with basic molecular biology methods including cloning, protein expression and purification.  Previous GC-MS experience is not necessary.  Problem solving skills and willingness to learn are required.  This project will involve multidisciplinary collaboration with scientists in Pharmaceutical Science, Nutrition and Toxicology.

Both appointments — beginning as early as June 2008 — are for one year and could be renewed for a second year. Please send a curriculum vitae and letter of interest to Dr. Yinan Wei at Yinan.Wei@uky.edu or Dr. Leonidas Bachas at UKYLGB@gmail.com
