The Chou laboratory in Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah is seeking one or two highly motivated postdoctoral researchers. We focus on using synthetic protein engineering to create peptide or protein therapeutics to understand their biological effects in human disease and improve clinical treatment. Currently, we are tackling type 1 diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables glucose uptake from blood. By developing novel insulin and glucagon analogues, we hope to maintain normal blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetic patients. A successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutics or related fields with experiences in synthetic organic chemistry. Candidates with strong background and research experience in both organic synthesis and chemical biology are preferred. Candidates please send a letter that describes your scientific interest and research experience, together with your CV, list of publications and the names of three references to Danny Chou ([email protected]) with a subject line states “Postdoc Application”.
