The Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry (CBMC) in the Zhang Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct interdisciplinary research in chemical biology and drug discovery. The role involves developing platforms to study lipid metabolism, membrane structures, and biocondensates, as well as pharmacological investigation of chemical probes and drugs in cell-based assays. The position will support a project using unique chemical tools to dissect interactions between lipid metabolism, membrane structures, and biocondensates, aiming to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic options for diseases. Candidates should have a PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related field, with experience in lipid biochemistry and/or chemical biology.
