LFKRI consists of faculty members with diverse expertise spanning basic and translational investigation into the cellular, molecular and biochemical basis of hematology and is the largest non-profit research institute of classical hematology in the world. Through multi-disciplinary research hubs that foster collaboration, LFKRI’s dynamic and collaborative faculty are engaged in NIH-funded programs in stem cell and progenitor biology, immunobiology of blood disorders and transfusion therapy, infectious disease prevention and control, and genomics and data science.

Candidates with expertise in synthetic chemistry (including combinatorial and natural product synthesis), structure-guided and computational drug design, and synthesis approaches for drug discovery who will lead and maintain a cutting-edge research program that will bring chemical approaches to complement and enhance our current research programs are encouraged to apply. 

LFKRI is located along the Upper East Side in Manhattan, and neighbors world-class research universities that support a highly collaborative biomedical research environment. LFKRI faculty develop innovative, externally funded research programs supported by competitive research grants. LFKRI offers access to a wide variety of shared core facilities, including state-of-the-art flow cytometry, confocal and EM microscopy, GMP-compliant research spaces, internal IACUC and IRB support and access to the NYBC enterprise blood donor resources providing candidate faculty with an exciting opportunity to engage in collaborative cutting-edge research in transfusion and regenerative medicine. 

Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or a M.D., or equivalent degree in synthetic organic chemistry or medicinal chemistry, and productive prior research. Success in delivering clinical candidates is highly desirable. The successful applicant will receive a competitive start-up package, substantial salary support commensurate with experience and rank, a comprehensive benefits package, modern research space, and will have access to the wealth of resources and core facilities available at LFKRI and neighboring world-class research universities. To support faculty in postdoctoral research fellow recruitment, LFKRI covers any external talent recruiter fees and funds the postdoc housing allowance of $20K and assists with visa application processes. The successful applicant will be expected to develop and lead an outstanding extramurally funded research program, and contribute to the collaborative community and the mentoring mission of LFKRI.

Interested individuals should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests outlining at least two independent research projects (4 pages maximum), and contact information for three references by completing the following form. Applications will be accepted until the appropriate candidates are identified and the positions filled.

For applicants who will perform this position in New York City or Westchester County, the proposed annual salary is $110,000/year to $250,000/year.
