Faculty Position Organic Synthesis, Radiotracer Synthesis & PET Imaging
(Academic Jobs Online)
The Department of Chemistry at Stony Brook University in conjunction with the Biomolecular
Imaging Cluster seeks to hire a tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant/Associate
or Full Professor level to begin Fall 2017 with expertise in synthetic organic chemistry
and with a strong interest in developing radiotracers for positron emission tomography
(PET) imaging. The new faculty member is expected to establish or have established
a vibrant, extramurally-funded research program, and must have a Ph.D. from an accredited
institution in Chemistry or a closely related field, and postdoctoral experience.
Candidates must have demonstrated excellence in innovative research and a strong commitment
to teaching undergraduate and graduate Chemistry. The new faculty member will join
the Biomolecular Imaging Cluster, a cross-campus initiative that connects the Department
of Chemistry with academic units in the Life Sciences and the School of Medicine.
Stony Brook University has made a major investment in the facilities and instrumentation
for PET imaging including the installation of a Siemens Biograph mMR human MR-PET
scanner, human and preclinical PET/CT scanners, and construction of a GMP radiotracer
synthesis lab for labeling with PET nuclides such as fluorine-18. In addition, the
School of Medicine is due to complete the construction of the Medical and Research
Translation building in 2018, which will be a focal point for translational research
and bioimaging, and will include a cyclotron and carbon-1 synthesis facility. Support
for cross-campus collaborative research is also underpinned by the Institute for Chemical
Biology and Drug Discover and the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology,
while the NIH-funded Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program provides an additional
level of connectivity between Chemistry, Life Sciences and the Medical School. Stony
Brook is also close to Brookhaven National Lab which operates the National Synchrotron
Light Source II, and Stony Brook Medicine recently affiliated with the Mount Sinai
Health System, providing new opportunities for collaborative science.
Interested applicants should submit a State employment application, cover letter,
complete curriculum vitae including publication list, proposal research plans and
teaching interest to Academic Jobs Online at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6593 Applicants for Assistant Professor should arrange to have three letters of recommendation
submitted on their behalf. Electronic submission via Academic Jobs Online is highly
preferred.
Alternatively, submit above materials to: Chair of Search Committee, Department of Chemistry, Chemistry Building, Room 104,
Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3400, Fax: (631) 632-7960.

We have exciting news to share with the department about one of Professor Ojima's
senior Ph.D. students!
At the March 2016 ACS Meeting in San Diego, Longfei Wei was presented with one of
two Research Excellence Awards in Medicinal Chemistry, co-sponsored by the Chemical
Computing Group and ACS Division of Medicinal Chemistry. He was honored to receive
his award from Dr. Eric Walters, Secretary of ACS MEDI session and Audrey Bonin from
CCG on Sunday evening. On Tuesday night he was also invited to attend a dinner with Audrey and several other people
working in MOE, along with five graduate students who won the COMP session CCG awards
and another MEDI session awardee.
The title of Longfei's award winning submission was, “Computational Structure-based
Design of Fatty Acid Binding Protein (FABPs) Inhibitors as Anti-nociceptive and Anti-inflammatory
Agents”.
This performance is particularly impressive, since the theme of this meeting was "Computers
in Chemistry", so there were many submissions featuring Computer-Aided Drug Design.
Please join us in congratulating Longfei on his outstanding achievement.
The attached photo is of Longfei and Audrey Bonin at his poster.

Founding Chair Francis Bonner passed Monday, February 15, 2016
Francis Bonner joined the State University College of Long Island in its second year, 1958, and was our Founding Chair of Chemistry from 1958-1970. Francis guided the development of the Chemistry Department, its undergraduate, its graduate, and its research programs throughout its formative years. His research centered on inorganic reaction mechanisms with particular emphasis on the aqueous chemistry of nitrogen oxides and their compounds and ions. One of his favorite publications was “The Story of NO: How a Small Toxic Molecule Made it to the Big Time.” Science Spectra, 1996, 4, pp 32-37.
There will be a Memorial service on Sunday, March 6, 2016 at noon at the Bates House in Setauket.
