Job description
A postdoc position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Blair which focuses on leveraging high-throughput chemical synthesis and MS/MS analysis to create predictive models of chemical reactivity. Substrate aware reaction condition prediction: This project seeks to capitalize on our recent development of rapid tandem mass-spectrometry methods to scout chemical reaction outcomes ( Nature 2024 , JACS 2026 , Nature Protocols 2026 ). The proposed data rich experimentation will connect chemical structures to optimal reaction conditions. A competitive candidate will have a background in synthetic organic chemistry, experience with either automated synthesis or high-throughput experimentation is desirable. The project will be executed in the Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and builds on strong investments into a world-class infrastructure in high-throughput chemical synthesis and analysis. Please direct queries and application packets including a cover letter, current CV, and contact information for 3 referees to Dr. Daniel Blair (daniel.blair@stjude.org).
