Postdoctoral position as posted on PostdocJobs.com:

--------------------------------

Two post-doc positions are open in a new research program studying
redox and antioxidant chemistry, physiological uptake, and
bioavailability/bioactivity of cranberry and blueberry flavonoids and
anthocyanins conjugated with different sugars. One position requires
biochemical/toxicology experience with animals and tissues, the second
position requires organic chemistry and analytical experience with
natural compound isolations, HPLC, mass spec, NMR, IR, and
electrochemistry. Both post-docs will work with a multidisciplinary
team of three professors in Cook College, Rutgers University.
The project will have five components: 1) large-scale extraction of
target compounds, 2) preliminary measurements of bioavailability of
target compounds in rats, 3) testing of potential bioactivity of
compounds in cell culture, 4) determination of chemical properties
[free radical scavenging capabilities, redox potentials, lipid-aqueous
phase partitioning, and metal complexing of the target compounds]
which may account for uptake and biological effects of the target
compounds, and 5) identification, testing, and breeding of varieties
with novel bioactive profiles and levels.
Stipends are $28,000/year for a two-year period, with reappointment
contingent upon satisfactory progress. Rutgers University is an equal
opportunity employer and encourages all qualified candidates to apply.
Positions are available immediately.
