One fellowship is currently available to join the group of Dr. Dimitris SAKELLARIOU in the Laboratory of Structure and Dynamics using Magnetic Resonance at the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique of Saclay, close to Paris, in France. The research in the group is primarily directed at designing novel permanent magnet MR devices, MRI sensors and micro-detectors.
This fellowship is funded by the European Research Council. The project is to develop novel instrumentation for small animal in-vivo MRS applications and the research of the candidate should focus in this framework. The duration is 12 months (with the possibility to extend up to 36 months) and the net salary will be approximately 2000 - 3000 Euros/month (depending on the experience of the candidate).
Prospective candidates should have a physics or engineering background and demonstrated experience in any of the following areas: instrumentation, radio-frequency/electrical engineering, magnetometry, low-field NMR/MRI, magnet/probe design.
Our group is part of the Laboratory of Structure and Dynamics using Magnetic Resonance, which provides state-of-the-art research facilities in low-field and high-field NMR spectroscopy, in a highly collegial environment involving a large number of NMR spectroscopists and a very large variety of international scientists (The site of the CEA in Saclay is one of the largest multidisciplinary National Laboratories in Europe: www-centre-saclay.cea.fr/). Candidates must be fluent (written / spoken) in English.
Applicants should send:
1) a curriculum vitae including the list of their publications,

postdoc positions solid state NMR of membrane proteins
Two postdoc positions are available immediately in solid state NMR of membrane proteins in my research group at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Spectroscopy is conducted on a range of instruments from 400 to 900 MHz. Applicants with experience in NMR, preferably biological solid state NMR are encouraged to apply. This NIH funded science is focused on the characterization of potential drug targets for fighting TB and Influenza. While much of my lab's focus has been on aligned samples, I am also interested in pursuing magic angle spinning approaches for characterizing these important membrane protein targets. It has become increasing clear that these proteins must be characterized in lipid bilayer environment. Solid state NMR is becoming the key technology for the characterization of membrane proteins. Please send a CV and the names and addresses of three references to me if you are interested. Additional information is also available upon request.

PhD position in Solid State NMR & Glass
PhD position in Solid State NMR & Glass
A 3-year PhD position is available at the University of Lille and CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique). Requirements for the position are a master diploma (or related degree) in physics, chemistry, materials or related field.
The research program involves the synthesis and characterization of glasses for the Vitrification of high-sulfate content nuclear wastes. The aim is to study the structural effect of some selected oxides on the glass network, with the objective of maximizing the sulphate content in the glass.
The characterizations will involve thermophysical methods and multinuclear solid-state NMR. The NMR group at the University of Lille develops new NMR methods, that will be employed for the glass characterization. The student will have full access to high-field spectrometers (18.8 and 21T) at the NMR center of Lille.
The interested candidate may send an application to prof Lionel Montagne :

Postdoctoral Position in Protein NMR Rutgers University
Postdoctoral Position in Protein NMR
Rutgers University at Newark
Newark, NJ, USA
A postdoctoral position, funded primarily by an NIH grant, is available immediately to study by NMR the solution structure and inter-component interactions in pyruvate dehydrogenase and related multienzyme complexes from different sources. The complexes are important in metabolism and are excellent models for biological regulation as well. The suitability of solution state NMR for their study has been established. The group has more than 30 years of experience with thiamin enzymes with active collaborations in both solution and solid state NMR spectroscopy. The laboratory is located in the New York metropolitan area, an outstanding environment for research.
Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated expertise in biomolecular, triple-resonance NMR, especially the complete assignments and the solution structure determination of large proteins. Experience and interest in enzymology, molecular biophysics, and protein preparation and purification are welcome. The project is on track to yield information not available by x-ray structural studies to date. The candidate will be the major user of an in-house Varian Inova 600 MHz spectrometer and will have access to an 800 MHz NMR instrument as needed.
Please send inquiries, applications, and two to three letters of recommendation to:

Opening for PhD Student in biological Solid-State NMR at ETH
In the solid-state NMR group at ETH Zurich (http://www.nmr.ethz.ch) we have two openings for PhD students in the fields of:
1) MAS / HRMAS of "soft" material like cells and lipids: The project involves the development of NMR methods to investigate “soft” material (like cells, lipid systems, biopsies, solid-phase
synthesis beads) under MAS as well as the applications of such methods to the study of intact bacterial cells.
2) Protein Structure Determination by solid-state NMR: While the first de novo structures from solid-state NMR have been
published (for microcrystals and fibrils), much development is still needed in order to obtain meaningful
structures and judge the quality of the results. In our group, we address the methodological developments using crystalline proteins and apply the method to prion fibrils and membrane proteins.
For more information please contact Prof. Beat H. Meier at beme@ethz.ch

12 month post-doctoral position in Structural Biology NMR.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Chemistry or related fields.
The candidate is expected to have a strong expertise in solution NMR
with in-depth training in NMR receptor-ligand interaction, protein
structures and dynamics, and drug-protein interactions. Familiarity with
biochemistry, biophysics is desirable. Experience with molecular
modeling (docking, virtual screening, python language) would be a big plus.
The postdoctoral position is available from April 1, 2010 in the Paris
Descartes University to characterize the interaction of new HIV-1
anti-integrase inhibitors with LEDGF-Integrase complex.
The candidate will join the NMR & Molecular modeling team of the
laboratory of Chemical and Biochemical Pharmacology and Toxicology
(UMR8601 CNRS), and be responsible for the development and structural
analysis of HIV-1 integrase by high-resolution solution NMR and
molecular modeling. The main approach will be to characterize the
interaction by transfer-NMR experiments (STD, WaterLOGSY, ...) and to
participate in the development of AuPosSOM software to classify
molecules according to their contact pattern with the target of interest
and 2D/3D QSAR modeling.
