***********
Physics/Chemistry - NMR Lab Manager
The Departments of Physics and Chemistry & Biochemistry at the
University of Lethbridge require an Academic Assistant for a
probationary Academic Support Staff position that will start between
October 2001 and January 2002.
As part of the continued expansion of its Biophysical Chemistry Group,
The University of Lethbridge is searching for an individual to manage
the NMR facility and spectrometers. Housed in a newly constructed
Biostructure Facility, a Varian Unity Inova 500 MHz wide-bore NMR
Spectrometer will be used for solid-state NMR (biophysics and chemical
physics), liquid-state NMR (protein structure and dynamics), and
microimaging (neuroscience) experiments. In addition, a Brüker 250 MHz
NMR is housed within the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and is
used primarily for inorganic and organic small molecule structure
elucidation. The duties of the position include laboratory
administration (usage scheduling, cryogenics upkeep, etc.), routine
maintenance and repair of the spectrometers and their associated
equipment, software maintenance, and the teaching and training of users
(both students and faculty). Independent and collaborative research
opportunities with other faculty members and postgraduate students will
be actively encouraged. The ability to manage other related research
equipment, a knowledge of electronics (especially RF) and UNIX is
advantageous.
Candidates for the position should have at least 4 years of NMR
experience through either a Ph.D. or a M.Sc. program with several years
of postgraduate experience. The University is an equal opportunity
employer and offers a non-smoking environment. For more information
