SYNTHETIC MEDICINAL CHEMISTS

Several positions are available in the areas of organic synthesis and
computational chemistry, as part of a collaborative project with the
Mental Health Research Institute of Victoria.  The aim of the project
is to synthesize ligands that bind to a protein implicated in mental
disorder and to elucidate their structure-activity relationships.

Research Fellows (3 positions)

Two of the successful applicants will have a strong background in
organic synthesis, with experience in molecular modelling,
chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques.  The third appointee
will have a strong background in computational chemistry and
structural determination of macromolecules using multi-dimensional NMR
with experience in organic synthesis.  Knowledge and experience of
combinatorial chemistry would be an advantage for all positions.  The
positions will be for one year in the first instance. Salary in the
ranges: $38,092-40,889 (level A), $43,042-51,113 (level B)   Applicants 
should hold a PhD and the appointment to level A or level B will be
made on the basis of research experience.

Postgraduate Scholarship (1 position)

A postgraduate scholarship in synthetic medicinal chemistry is also
available.  The annual stipend is $18,500 and the scholarship is for
two years.  The project is in the area of design and synthesis of
novel antipsychotic drugs as part of a collaborative programme with a
pharmaceutical company.  Applicants should have an H1 or H2A honours
degree with a strong background in synthetic chemistry.
