The forensic science group within the Department of Biopharmaceutical Sciences (BPS, College of Pharmacy, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), manages and operates an Animal Forensic Toxicology Laboratory (AFTL). The AFTL is responsible for testing blood and urine specimens from winning racehorses at all the tracks in Illinois for evidence of prohibited substances, or prohibited levels of regulated substances.

The AFTL seeks a full-time post-doctoral scientist for research, development, and validation of GC-MS, LC-MS, and immunoassay based screening, and confirmation assays and methods for drugs and substances of interest. The successful candidate will have a recent Ph.D. in pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, or a related field, with extensive knowledge of drug classes, drug metabolism, drug detection in physiological fluids, and broad experience with GC-MS and LC-MS methods. Compensation is competitive. The AFTL is prepared to make a multi-year commitment to the right candidate.

The Animal Forensic Toxicology Lab occupies about 7,500 sq ft within a research facility and it employs eight professional scientists. The lab is located in the West Loop section of Chicago, Illinois, within the Illinois Medical District (IMD). The IMD includes the campus and Medical Center of UIC, Rush Medical Center, Cook County Medical Center, and the west side Veteran's Administration (VA) Medical Center.

Qualified, interested parties should submit a current curriculum vitae and the contact information for three professional references via email or mail as follows:
