Dear All,
I would like to draw your attention to the postdoctoral vacancy in the research group of Prof. Larry Wackett at the University of Minnesota (USA): A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the University of Minnesota to conduct research with a team of biochemists and engineers studying the structure and substrate specificity of enzymes involved in microbial biodegradation. The ideal candidate will have a background in computational enzyme ligand docking, molecular dynamics simulations, X-ray-crystallography and have some knowledge of database development. The person should have a PhD in Biochemistry, Chemistry or a related field. The project involves the study of diverse biodegradative enzymes and developing predictive tools for assessing substrate specificity that determines metabolic potential for organismal engineering. Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team is an important requirement for this position. For additional information, or to apply (cover letter, CV, and contact information for three referees), contact Professor Larry Wackett ( <mailto:wacke...@umn.edu> wacke...@umn.edu; http://www.cbs.umn.edu/research/research-cbs/faculty-labs/wackett ). The position is open immediately. The University of Minnesota shall provide equal access to and opportunity in its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
