摘要:
The CNM seeks a highly motivated, creative, and productive postdoctoral candidate with a strong background in dendrimer, organic, or pharmaceutical chemistry. The individual will work closely with researchers in engineering and medicine in the area of developing and characterizing multi-functional nanodevices for the treatment and imaging of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. Strong background in organic, polymer, medicinal, and/or pharmaceutical chemistry is desired. Experience with polymer/dendrimer-drug conjugation, and modern purification, chromatography/mass spectroscopy techniques, and an ability to handle small quantities (~100 µg) and large quantities (~ g) is helpful. Candidates with exceptional skills in cell biology, and characterizing the efficacy of nanodevices in cells, and in vivo imaging will also be considered. The chosen person will work in the cutting-edge area of using nanostructured materials for drug delivery. Strong collaborations with many medical departments (ophthalmology, anesthesiology and critical care, neuroscience, neurosurgery, Brain Science Institute, Kennedy-Krieger Institute, Institute of NanoBioTechnology) are a key feature of the research. The group has extensive polymer, in vitro and in vivo characterization facilities, with labs located at the state-of-the-art Smith Building at the Wilmer Eye Institute. The position is available from September, 2014, with a competitive salary, and will be for 1-2 years, and may continue if performance is satisfactory. The candidate is expected to have a doctoral degree organic, inorganic or pharmaceutical chemistry, or chemical engineering. The candidate must be a strong team player, and have excellent writing and communication skills.

Applicants are encouraged to send an electronic curriculum vitae and a short cover letter describing research interests, experience, and qualifications, to Prof. Rangaramanujam Kannan (Co-director, Center for Nanomedicine, Johns Hopkins Medicine) at the CNM. Successful candidates will be asked to provide letters of reference from mentors/supervisors from previous and current affiliations.
