Post-doctoral fellowship in Organic Synthesis

The Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem), supported by FAPESP and GSK, offers a Postdoctoral fellowship for researchers with experience on Organic Synthesis.

The vacancy is open to Brazilians and foreigners who will join the team of investigators of CERSusChem at the Department of Chemistry from Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). Candidates must have obtained their PhD degree within the last 7 (seven) years, and expertise in reactions carried out under homogenous asymmetric catalysis. The application of asymmetric catalysis on the synthesis of bioactive compounds will be considered an extra.

Fluency in English and ability to work within interdisciplinary teams are also mandatory.

Applications can be submitted only by e-mail to Professor Arlene G. Corrêa (cersuschem@ufscar.br). Those interested should send resume (short CV) including publications in the area of this project. The registration period ends on July 29th, 2017.

This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationalities. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP's Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 6,819.30 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity.
