The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on performance and availability of funding. The MURR and RSI offer fully-equipped radiochemistry laboratories that have been dedicated to pre-clinical development of new radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy. In addition, these institutions also include a host of engineers, chemists, biochemists, and health physics personnel to support and assist the successful candidate in their laboratory investigations. The University of Missouri is committed to postdoctoral education and provides professional development opportunities for postdoctoral scholars across all disciplines. The Graduate School and the MU Postdoctoral Association provide regular professional development sessions, and postdocs can also further their academic career preparation through the University of Missouri’s membership to the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL). |
