Post-Doc in Montpellier
The NMR group at the Centre de Biochimie Structurale (CBS) in Montpellier (France) is looking for a highly motivated researcher to join the team as a post-doc to work for two years on a project funded by the Chaires d’Excellence program of the French Research Funding Agency (ANR). The project, leaded by Pau Bernadó, aims the structural and dynamic characterization of a family of intrinsically disordered proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases, and to reveal the molecular basis of the aggregation process causing these pathologies. This objective will be achieved by the integration of NMR, SAXS and single-molecule FRET data into novel computational approaches.
The successful candidate should have a PhD in chemistry, biology or physics and experience in solution state biomolecular NMR spectroscopy. Previous experience with protein expression and purification will be considered favourably. Knowledge in other biophysical techniques and computational methods will be favourably evaluated.
The laboratory hosts high-field state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers for biomolecular applications: A 700 MHz and a 500 MHz both equipped with cryoprobes and a 600 MHz. In addition to NMR, the CBS has an outstanding infrastructure covering all techniques for structural biology and biophysics including X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, advanced fluorescent and super-resolution microscopes, single-molecule manipulation, molecular and cell biology, and high-performance computation.
Montpellier is a major biology area with a focus on basic research, biomedicine, plant biology and environmental science. Its science drive, the beauty of the region and its high quality of life, and the short commute to other major regional research areas (Barcelona, Paris, Toulouse, Marseille) make it an ideal destination for scientists from all over the world.
Applications and informal queries about the project and the lab should be addressed to Pau Bernadó (pau.bernado@cbs.cnrs.fr). Interested candidates should send their CV and the names of persons willing to write a recommendation letter in a cover letter describing their research interests and motivation.

PhD SSNMR
We are looking for a young, open-minded, enthusiastic, committed and diligent individual with a background in chemistry, physics or material-sciences (German Diploma/MSc equivalent).
The successful candidate will work on the multi nuclear solid state NMR characterization of immobilized catalysts, metal-clusters, metal-nanoparticles and their interactions with substrates. The immobilized catalysts are made in-house by covalently binding metal-containing catalysts to the surface of nano-structured silica materials with different morphologies (porous or nanoparticles) via organic linkers or obtained by a cooperating group at the CNRS-Toulouse.
The structure of the immobilized catalysts on the support material, its interactions with substrates and the influence of macroscopic parameters such as temperature on its properties are investigated. The catalytic activity of the catalysts is tested by model reactions, in particular hydrogenations.
Previous hands-on experience with solid state NMR or heterogeneous catalysis will be helpful, but is not necessary.
We offer a state-of-the-art research infrastructure including solid-state NMR (600, 500 400 and 300 MHz) spectrometers and a wet-chemistry lab including GC, HPLC, UV/Vis and other techniques. An additional 400MHz DNP-NMR solid state NMR spectrometer will be installed at the end of 2012.
The NMR lab is headed by an academic staff scientist, who provides user support. The group is part of the research group FOR-1583, the research network SFB 598, the LOEWE-research group SOFT-CONTROL and various national and international cooperation projects. The group is located at the Campus Lichtwiese of the Technical University Darmstadt.
