Post-Doctoral Position |
Student Job Announcement |
| Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow in high resolution NMR of biological macromolecules.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. with pertinent experience in one or more of the following areas: structure and/or dynamics of biological macromolecules by NMR, method development for high resolution NMR, computational methods of biological structure determination, molecular biology and protein chemistry with a background in structure.
We are a small multidisciplinary research team focused on the development and application of experimental and theoretical approaches to structural genomics, including protein structure determination and analysis of protein dynamics using nuclear magnetic resonance and relaxation, molecular dynamics simulation, and physical and mathematical modeling. We are especially, but not uniquely, interested in multidomain systems involved in intracellular
signaling, with the emphasis on the elucidation of protein structure and dynamics, and their role in protein folding, stability, and function.
The available NMR facilities include an ultra-shielded Bruker 600 MHz high resolution NMR spectrometer (five-channels, triple-axes pulse field gradients) equipped with the cryoprobe, Bruker DRX 500 and several 400 MHz spectrometers.
The position is available immediately. Applications, including a full CV and addresses of two referees, as well as further inquiries, should be addressed to |
Attention: Physics, Chemistry, Math, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science Majors (undergraduates and graduate students).
We have recently developed a software package for computer simulation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. The goal of the program is accurate computer simulation of the basic principles of quantum mechanics, including spin interactions and transitions under the influence of magnetic fields. Details of the software can be found on the Virtual NMR Spectrometer Web site
We are looking for persons interested in further development of the software package, including simulation algorithms, lexical parser/analyzer, Graphical user interface, I/O modules etc. Experience with Matlab programming is required; understanding of basic physics (including E&M and quantum mechanics) is a plus.
Part-time employment during the Spring semester is available immediately, and, if successful, could continue through the Summer.
