1. Two Research Technician positions
Research Description
The Analytical Service and Training Laboratory (ASTL) at the University of Georgia’s Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is seeking two experienced and motivated Research Technicians to join our team. Our work involves structural characterization of complex and polysaccharides and glycoproteins from plant, bacteria and animal sources using a combination of techniques including NMR, mass spectrometry, SPR and HPLC. This position will involve isolation and purification of glycans and performing structural analysis plant and microbial polysaccharides by derivatization and GCMS and HPLC techniques. This position will provide the candidate with the opportunity to collaborate with scientist from universities, research institutes and industry for the structural characterization studies.
Requirements:
- B.SC or MSc with strong motivation and a background in chemistry, biology or biochemistry or related disciplines
- Minimum of 1-2 years of laboratory experience with HPLC and GCMS
- A team player who thrives to work in a large collaborative scientific environment
To apply: Please send your current CV and a list of three reference contacts to Dr. Parastoo Azadi (azadi@uga.edu)
