The Ngai Lab (http://www.ngaigroup.com ) is moving to the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University in July 2023 and is seeking to recruit talented Postdoc Fellows with a strong background in total synthesis, carbohydrate chemistry, organometallic, and/or reaction design to fill a postdoc position in the Ngai Lab. The focus of the lab is to develop new molecular editing technologies to selectively and efficiently modify organic molecules, carbohydrates, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Selected candidates will perform highly collaborative scientific research in one or more of the following research programs: (i) Molecular Editing of Carbohydrates; (ii) Molecular Editing via Excited-State/Photoredox Catalysis; and (iii) Molecular Valorization via Fluorine Chemistry.
We combine detailed experimental and computational studies to understand reactivity and mechanisms to guide the design of new catalysts and the development of novel applications in organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemistry (for selected examples, see: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, 144, 20884; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, 144, 3353; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2022, 61, e202113841; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, 143, 8590; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, 143, 1728; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 21475; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2019, 58, 11171; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2019, 58, 7318; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2018, 57, 13795). Our research programs provide comprehensive and rigorous training to the students and postdocs to advance the frontiers of science and prepare them for positions in both academia and industry. If you are a self-motivated, creative, and team-oriented Ph.D. student or postdoctoral fellow with a passion for organic synthesis, carbohydrate chemistry, and/or fluorine chemistry, you are encouraged to contact Prof. Ming-Yu Ngai (mngai@purdue.edu), and send him a cover letter, your CV, and research summary.
