Description:
The Cancer Drug Development group is seeking a postdoctoral NMR specialist to run and maintain two Bruker NMR instruments (400 and 600 MHz). A number of research groups within the DKFZ require these instruments with needs ranging from the complete spectral assignment of natural products and stereochemically complex small molecules to in situ reaction monitoring and kinetic measurements. You will be responsible for designing, performing, and analyzing the experiments necessary for these studies. We would like to expand our capabilities to be able to study the interactions of small molecules with protein targets of interest in the context of drug discovery research.
Your profile:
You are a motivated and creative individual with a PhD or related experience in NMR spectroscopy, including hardware maintenance and upkeep with Bruker instrumentation and software. You are well versed with a variety of multi-dimensional experiments and can use the data thereby obtained to solve the structures of complex unknowns. Experience in studying small-molecule/protein binding is a big plus. Ability to communicate clearly and supervise technical assistants. Your application should include a CV with publication list, two letters of reference, a summary of your recent work, and copies of your University certificates.
Duration:
The position is limited until August 31, 2014.
Compensation/Financing: E13, Grant funding

Postoctoral position in Structural Biology
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Structural Biology
We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research
Associate in the laboratory of Dr. Ioannis Vakonakis for studies of
proteins involved in centriole assembly. The successful candidate will
join a multidisciplinary collaboration between Oxford and the groups of
Prof. Pierre Gönczy (EPFL) and Dr. Michel Steinmetz (Paul Scherrer
Institute) in Switzerland. Recently, our joint efforts elucidated the
origins of centriolar 9-fold symmetry (Kitagawa, Vakonakis et
al.,Cell144, 364-375, 2011), a critical step in the centrosomal
duplication process that ensures genome stability in animals. We now
seek to build upon this breakthrough by studying the structure/function
relationship of centriolar components such as SAS-6, SAS-5, SAS-4,
ZYG-1, SPD-2 and others. The successful candidate will contribute to the
analysis of these targets using structural (crystallography, solution
NMR and/or small angle scattering) and biophysical methods.
Applicants should possess/be expected to obtain a PhD in natural
sciences and should have experience in aspects of the structural biology
pipeline, for example protein production and purification, NMR
spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography. Past experience with
complementary biophysical techniques (ITC, AUC, CD etc) and biomolecular
interactions is desirable. Previous familiarity with centriolar or
relevant biological systems would be an advantage but is not essential.
This full-time post is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological
Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)for up to three years in the first
instance and is based in the New Biochemistry building, South Parks
Road, Oxford. More information about our group can be found by clicking

This position is graded on the University’s grade 7 scale, for which the
salary range is £29,099 - £35,788 per annum. The actual starting salary
offered will be based on qualifications and relevant skills acquired and
will also be determined by the funding available.
For further general information, phone (01865) 613204, quoting reference
number BR/493.

PhD student position at Wageningen
Diffusional Nanoprobes for Multi-length Scale material Characterisation (DINAMISCH)
In the DINAMISCH project we aim at overcoming the current bottlenecks in non-invasive multi-length scale characterisation during structure formation and degradation in semi-solid matter by diffusional probing using advanced magnetic resonance methods. DINAMISCH is an academic-industrial collaboration between Wageningen University and two industrial partners, SyMO-Chem and Unilever. DINAMISCH is part of the research programme of COAST, the Dutch public-private partnership on Analytical Science and Technology.
We are now searching for a Ph.D. Student (4 years) who will develop and apply novel magnetic resonance methods for probing materials at different length scales (nano/meso/micro). The focus will be on PFG and MRI methodologies for assessment of structure formation/degradation under dynamic conditions. This will also require the joint deployment of novel rheo- and DNP approaches. The student will work closely with a postdoc working on design and manufacturing of diffusional nanoprobes and with industrial researchers at Unilever and SyMO-Chem. The PhD student will be based at the Laboratory of Biophysics, Wageningen University.
For more information contact Dr. Henk Van As (Henk.VanAs@wur.nl) or Prof. Dr. John van Duynhoven (John.vanDuynhoven@wur.nl).
