Dear colleagues, We have two immediate openings for Postdoctoral Research Associates at Oak Ridge National Laboratory:
Position 1: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in structural biology of enzymes degrading recalcitrant natural and synthetic polymers. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will join a multi-disciplinary research team that uses enzyme engineering and neutron/X-ray/electron diffraction to understand structural features that determine activity and design enzymes with improved efficiency. As an ORNL postdoctoral fellow you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities for biochemical characterization and X-ray diffraction, as well as access to world class facilities for neutron and electron diffraction. Applicants should have received a Ph.D. in biochemistry, structural biology, chemistry or related science field within the last five years and should have extensive experience in protein purification and biochemical characterization. For informal enquiries please contact Flora Meilleur (meille...@ornl.gov<mailto:meille...@ornl.gov>) or Josh Michener (michene...@ornl.gov<mailto:michene...@ornl.gov>) To apply: https://jobs.ornl.gov/job/Oak-Ridge-Postdoctoral-Research-Associate-Protein-Biochemistry-and-Structural-Biology-TN-37830/965904500/ Position 2: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to characterize the structure and dynamics of enzymes immobilized on biopolymer matrices using X-ray and neutron scattering techniques. Applicants should have received a Ph.D. in material science, bioengineering, structural biology, chemistry or related science field within the last five years and should have experience in X-ray and/or neutron scattering techniques. The project is part of the Biocatalysts Interactions with Gases (BIG) international collaboration (https://sites.textiles.ncsu.edu/big/), with partners at North Carolina State University (NC State), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The candidate will join the Neutron Scattering Division at ORNL and will work closely with collaborator and ORNL's Weinberg Distinguished Staff Fellow Dr. Yue Yuan at the Center for Nanophase Material Science. To apply: https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/174730 Thank you for forwardis these positions to anyone you think might be interested.
