Job: Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available in the Department of Molecular Labeling and Bioorganic Chemistry, CEA-Saclay, France.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Frédéric Taran in collaboration with Prof. V. Gouverneur. The project is funded by the Blaise Pascal Chairs. The main goal of the proposed research is to develop new reactions allowing late stage fluorination and to apply this new chemistry in 18F-labelling.

Applicants should have a PhD in Organic Chemistry, with strong scientific record in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Catalysis. The position is available from 1 June 2013 and is for a period of one year.

Prof. V. Gouverneur is the Coordinator of RADIOMI - an EU Research Project funded by FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN.

Welcome to the Gouverneur Group, University of Oxford
