Faculty Positions in Drug Discovery/Synthetic Medicinal Chemistry
The Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Purdue University invites applicants for two tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor with particular emphasis on the application of modern synthetic organic techniques to the discovery of drugs and/or modulators for biological targets of pharmaceutical interest.
The Department offers a unique multidisciplinary environment with synergistic strengths in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and pharmacology. Purdue University has notable strengths and resources in analytical methods, nanotechnology, structural biology, and computation through the Bindley Bioscience and Birck Nanotechnology Centers in Discovery Park, the Markey Center for Structural Biology and the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing. Additional significant resources are available through the Purdue Center for Cancer Research and the newly founded Purdue Drug Discovery Institute, which in conjunction with the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute provides a path for drug development. Student recruiting opportunities through the Department as well as through the Purdue University Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Program (PULSe) offer substantial potential for building a productive research group.
Candidates must have a Ph. D. degree in Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Chemistry or related scientific field and relevant post-doctoral experience. The successful candidate will be expected to establish and maintain a strong extramurally-funded research program. Commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels is also required. Applicants should send electronic copies of a cover letter, a curriculum vita and a summary of planned and/or ongoing research in pdf format to the Head of the Medicinal Chemistry Search Committee at medchem@purdue.edu. In addition, applicants should arrange to have three letters of reference submitted electronically to the same email address. Review of applications will begin on October 1, 2012.
A background check will be required for employment in this position.

Endowed Professorship in Cancer Therapeutics
The Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology in the College of Pharmacy and the Purdue University Center for Cancer Research invite applications from individuals with a distinguished record of accomplishment to fill an endowed chair in Cancer Therapeutics at the rank of Full Professor. We are particularly interested in candidates who apply techniques and approaches emerging from either cutting-edge synthetic chemistry discoveries or the chemistry-biology interface to the discovery of new cancer therapies.
The Department offers a unique multidisciplinary environment in which chemistry and biology are applied to the improvement of human health, with particular strengths in cancer drug discovery. The Purdue University Center for Cancer Research is one of only seven NCI-designated Cancer Centers nationwide focused exclusively on basic and translational research. It maintains strong programs in drug delivery and molecular sensing, medicinal chemistry, chemical and structural biology, and cell growth and differentiation. Discovery Park at Purdue University offers a unique environment for collaborative interdisciplinary research. The Bindley Bioscience and Birck Nanotechnology Centers and the newly founded Purdue Drug Discovery Institute offer opportunities for collaborations on drug targets and the application of nanotechnology to therapeutics. The NIH-funded Indiana Clinical annd Translational Sciences Institute provides a nexus for translational research in therapeutics, bringing together basic and clinical research efforts from Purdue, Notre Dame, and Indiana University.
Candidates must have a Ph. D. degree in Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Chemistry or related scientific field and a significant record of independent scientific accomplishments. The successful candidate will be expected to possess and maintain a strong extramurally-funded research program. Commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels is also required. Applicants should send a curriculum vita, a brief summary of research accomplishments and of ongoing research via email to CancerThera@purdue.edu. Applications will be reviewed beginning October 10, 2012 and will continue until the position is filled.
