Postdoctoral position in Paris
*Postdoctoral position opened in Paris for exploring the physics of NMR
in highly polarized liquid samples (18 months).*
A collaborative work is performed by two teams, one at the Ecole Normale
Supérieure and the other one at CEA/Saclay, to study new physical
phenomena related to the non-linear evolution of magnetization observed
in NMR of hyperpolarized liquid samples. For instance, the team in Paris
has achieved NMR time-reversal in liquid polarized 3He in spite of
spin-turbulence [1] while the team in Saclay has studied multiple
chaotic maser emissions in dissolved polarized 129Xe [2]. The main
activity of the recruited researcher will be experimental NMR studies in
these systems, with the help of existing simulation tools to design
sequences and interpret results.
The experiments in Paris are performed at very low magnetic field (2mT)
using a Tecmag Apollo console and dedicated hardware at low temperature
(1K). In Saclay, experiments are performed at 11.7T and room temperature
using a Bruker Avance II spectrometer. The applicants should preferably
be experimental physicists or research engineers with a strong general
background and significant experience in NMR techniques. The position
will primarily be localized at the Laboratoire Kastler-Brossel [3]
(Physics Department of the ENS) in downtown Paris but part of the work
will be performed at CEA's Lab distant from about 40 minutes by ground
transportation from downtown Paris. The preferred starting date lies
between spring and autumn 2009.

The position will be to work on an ANR funded project to perform in vivo laser-polarized 129Xe molecular imaging experiments. In this project, after optical pumping, laser-polarized xenon is encapsulated in cage-molecules functionalized with biological ligands and transported to the receptors of interest where it is imaged. The project involves collaboration with chemists (synthesis of cage-molecules of high affinity for xenon), biochemists (choice of the biological systems and of the ligands) and spectroscopists (handling of the hyperpolarized gas in fast imaging experiments).
The candidate will participate in the installation and optimization of the optical pumping setup designed to deliver high quantities of hyperpolarized xenon. He/she will be in charge of the spectroscopy and imaging experiments on small animals, in close collaboration with all partners. The MR experiments will be implemented on a 7T animal imager.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Auckland
C at the University of Auckland, New Zealand
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research fellow to work on an exciting project funded by a NZ Royal Society Marsden grant. The project will focus on the use of solution-state NMR spectroscopy to investigate how protein dynamics facilitates the assembly of a cytokine signaling complex involved in the immune response and inflammation.
Candidates should hold a PhD in biomolecular solution-state NMR spectroscopy. Demonstrated strengths in protein expression and purification and skills in computer data analysis and modeling are desirable. Experience in characterising protein dynamics by NMR spectroscopy would be an advantage.
This is a fixed term full-time position for two years with a start date in mid-2009.
Interested applicants are encouraged to make informal enquiries to Dr Andrew Dingley. The closing date for applications is the 26th of March, 2009. Applicants should email/send their applications including CV with the names and the contact details of three referees to:

Postdoc Bordeaux
Postdoctoral position in NMR spectroscopy
A one-year postdoctoral position is available starting in late
spring/summer 2009 at the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology /
Institut Européen de Chimie et Biologie (IECB)
(http://www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/). The institute was founded in 1998 and
hosts diverse and international groups covering a wide range of
scientific interests. The ideal candidate will have a PhD degree, as
well as experience in NMR spectroscopy and standard molecular biology
skills related to protein expression and biochemical assays. The
laboratory investigates structural aspects of proteins and nucleic
acids, with a focus on components of the mRNA processing machinery and
the post-translational modification of histones (for laboratory homepage
see http://www.nmrbordeaux.org/). Local equipment includes a 700MHz
spectrometer, with the addition of an 800MHz spectrometer predicted for
this year.
Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and the contact
information for three referees to c.mackereth@iecb.u-bordeaux.fr, or by
mail to Dr. Cameron Mackereth, IECB, 2 rue Robert Escarpit, 33607 Pessac
Cedex, France.
