Pierre attended the Bronx High School of Science, Columbia University and The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) of Yeshiva University, followed by postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan. He joined the faculty at AECOM in the late 1960s and moved to the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill in 1973, where he was Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the time of his premature death. He was a dedicated and wise mentor to numerous students,... 

Donna Toufexis completed her doctoral training in neuroendocrinology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and postdoctoral training at Concordia University in Montreal. Toufexis is presently a research associate at the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN) at Emory University in Atlanta. Her primary research interest is the characterization of brain mechanisms that govern fear and anxiety. In particular, Toufexis is interested in the role that neuroactive hormones estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin play in the regulation of fear and anxiety. 

William T. Heller obtained his PhD in physics from Rice University in 1999. After postdoctoral training at Los Alamos National Laboratory, he moved to Oak Ridge National Laboratory for additional postdoctoral training before accepting a post as chemist/biophysicist in the Chemical Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His work entails the application of neutron and x-ray scattering methods to the study of the structure and function of biological macromolecules and the characterization of materials.

She moved to the Chemistry Department at the University of Cincinnati as an associate professor in 1996 and was promoted as a professor in 2002. Her research interests include liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, chiral separations, and investigations of separation mechanisms. 

Manuchair Ebadi earned a B.S. in chemistry from Park University (Parkville, Missouri, 1960), an M.S. in pharmacology from the University of Missouri College of Pharmacy (Kansas City, 1962), and a Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Missouri College of Medicine (Columbia, 1967). He completed his postdoctoral training in the Laboratory of Preclinical Pharmacology at the National Institute of Mental Health (Washington, D.C., 1970), under the able direction of Erminio Costa,... 

D. Ronald Webb I am not sure I understand the question. P G hires postdocs in two different ways. First, we hire individuals at an entry-level position who are completing an academic postdoctoral position at a college or university. Second, we offer freshly minted doctoral students the opportunity to get postdoctoral training with us rather than with a university. Which of these two postdoctoral individuals are you talking about ... 

Workshop speakers and participants indicated ways to improve education and training in the area of bioinspired chemistry for energy, including K-12, undergraduate and graduate education, postdoctoral training, and workforce training. 

Jean-Marc Sotiropoulos (born 1963) received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University Paul Sabatier - Toulouse in 1991 under the direction of Dr. Guy Bertrand. After a postdoctoral training with Prof. Dr. K. Seppelt at the FU Berlin as A.v. Humbolt Fellow, he joined the CNRS at the Universite de Pau et des Pays de l Adour. His main research interests concern reactive species from the main group elements and transition metals. He contributes to the development of new photoelectron systems which are used to characterize and understand unusual compounds in combination with modern theoretical methods. 

Gregory Dake is currently an associate professor at the University of British Columbia. He received his Ph.D. degree from Stanford University in 1998, and undertook postdoctoral training at Columbia University in 1998-99. 

Infectious diseases pharmacists have typically been awarded either a postbaccalaureate or entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy degree. In addition, most have completed 2 to 3 years of postdoctoral training that consists of a 1-year residency in pharmacy practice, followed by either 1 year in an infectious diseases specialty residency or a 2-year infectious diseases fellowship. It should be noted, however, that a select number of motivated practitioners have not completed these postgraduate training programs, but instead have become proficient in infectious diseases through on-the-job training. ... 

Ann Logan, Ph.D., received her B.Sc. from the University of London in 1974 and her Ph.D. in Endocrinology from the University of Birmingham in 1978. After postdoctoral training at the University of Leeds and in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew Baird at The Whittier Institute in La Jolla, CA, Dr. Logan established her own Molecular Neuroscience Group at the University of Birmingham in 1990. She is currently Reader in Molecular Neuroscience in the Department of Medicine. 

Tianquan Lian received his BS degree from Xiamen University in 1985, his MS degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1988 and his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1993. After postdoctoral training in the University of California at Berkeley, he joined the faculty of chemistry department at Emory University in 1996. He was promoted to associate professor in 2002 and full professor in 2005. He has been a recipient of the NSF CAREER award and the Sloan fellowship. His research interest is focused on the ultrafast dynamics of nanomaterials and interfaces. He is particularly interested in fundamental physical chemistry problems related to nanomaterials-based solar energy conversion concepts and devices. These problems include the dynamics of electron transfer, energy transfer, vibrational energy relaxation and solvation at interfaces and in nanomaterials. 

Private industrial firms also provide predoc-toral or postdoctoral training in the life sciences... 

NIGMS is also charged with supporting doctoral and postdoctoral training toward the same ends and coordinates many of the NIH-administered training programs outlined in chapter 9. 

U.S. chemistry is characterized by a great deal of mobility. The typical U.S. academic chemist receives undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training at three different institutions and then begins an independent career as an assistant professor at a fourth university. This movement of students and new faculty around the country rapidly spreads new ideas and modes of operation. There is less mobility in Japan and most large European countries and much less in smaller nations, where the number of research universities is limited. 

Victor L. Davidson received his B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois in 1973 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Texas Tech University in 1982. After postdoctoral training at Purdue University from 1982 to 1984 and a research position at the University of California at San Francisco from 1984 to 1988 he joined the faculty at the University of Mississippi Medical Center where he is currently Professor of Biochemistry. 

For other positions, even a Ph.D. and postdoctoral training cannot substitute for industrial research experience. A chemist needs experience to find work in a patent or regulatory affairs department. Patent coordinators (see text below), who are not lawyers but chemists, learn the basics of their future liaison positions as researchers whose inventions are patented. Their experience in assisting attorneys qualifies them to devote afi their efforts to such work. 

Yushen Guo is a Senior Scientist of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Achaogen Inc. in South San Francisco, CA. He received a Ph.D. degree in Physical Organic Chemistry from Iowa State University and postdoctoral training in Pharmaceutical Sciences from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
