Post-doctoral positions in macromolecular crystallography and NMR
spectroscopy at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of
Structural Biology. There are several postdoctoral positions available
immediately, with opportunities to work in projects related to
Metabolic Membrane Proteins and to the Pittsburgh Center for HIV
Protein Interactions (http://www2.structbio.pitt.edu/hivppi/site/index.php
). These positions are in the laboratory of Professors Angela M.
Gronenborn (NMR/X-ray) and Joanne I. Yeh (Macromolecular X-ray
crystallography).
The resources for X-ray Crystallography and NMR spectroscopy are
outstanding. The X-ray Crystallography Facility includes automated
crystallization screening and imaging, two high flux rotating anode
generators, two CCD and two image plate detectors, and access to
synchrotron time at SER-CAT; additional information can be found at (http://www2.structbio.pitt.edu/hivppi/site/cores_xray.php
). The NMR facility (http://www.structbio.pitt.edu/drupal-5/?q=nmr)
comprises of a total of six spectrometers dedicated to biological NMR.
These include three 600 MHz spectrometers, 700 MHz, 800 MHz and 900
MHz spectrometers. All spectrometers are fully equipped with hardware
for all modern multinuclear experiments including triple-axis
gradients and the capability for multi-channel pulsing with deuterium
decoupling. Cryoprobes have been installed at every field strength.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in structural biology or related fields
(Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology);
experience in biological NMR or macromolecular crystal structure
determination, including protein crystallization, data collection/
processing, structure determination and model refinement a plus.
