Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Enzyme-Catalyzed Synthesis

The Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering and the Laboratory of Renewable Resource Engineering at Purdue University seek a postdoctoral researcher to develop computational tools for proposing enzyme-catalyzed synthesis routes of complex small molecules, such as pharmaceutical agents or bioplastic monomers. The role involves designing cost-efficient manufacturing routes, improving synthesis of diverse chemical libraries, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. Candidates must have expertise in cheminformatics, bioinformatics, retrosynthesis algorithms, reaction dataset curation, and enzyme function prediction models.
