Dear AMMRL members,
Please forward the two job announcements below to any
interested applicants.
Best regards,
Ken Fishbein
Facility Manager, NMR Unit
NIH/NIA/GRC
NIH POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE
A postdoctoral position is available for combined work in the
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Unit (Richard Spencer, Chief) and in the
Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (Darrell Abernethy, Chief) of
the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health,
located in Baltimore, Maryland. The work will center on
spectroscopic and imaging studies of cartilage tissue derived from
tissue engineering protocols and from animal studies. Other research
opportunities may be available depending on the interests and
background of the successful candidate.
NMR instrumentation consists of a double-resonance Bruker ABX
1.9T/31 cm Biospec with shielded gradients, and a triple-resonance
wide-bore Bruker DMX 400 Avance system with microimaging and solids
capability.
A background in NMR spectroscopy or imaging of connective
tissue is preferred, although applicants with expertise in cartilage
biology who have the desire to learn NMR techniques are also strongly
encouraged to apply. We also invite applications from individuals
with experience in other areas of biological NMR. The appointment
will be as an IRTA Postdoctoral Fellow for US citizens, or as a
Visiting Fellow for US non-citizens. Accordingly, applicants must
have fewer than five years of postdoctoral experience.
Interested individuals should send or e-mail their CV and the
names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of at least three
references to: Dr. Richard Spencer, NMR Unit, NIH/NIA, GRC 4D-08,
5600 Nathan Shock Drive, Baltimore, MD 21224; Tel. 410-558-8226;

NIH TENURE-TRACK INVESTIGATOR POSITION AVAILABLE
A Staff Fellowship (assistant professor equivalent) position
is available for work related to cartilage biology and physiology in
the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (Darrell Abernethy, Chief)
of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) of the National Institutes
of Health, located in Baltimore, Maryland. This recruitment is part
of an ongoing expansion of the existing connective tissue research
program at the National Institute on Aging.
The NIA has excellent research facilities including
state-of-the-art cores in flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, DNA
array studies, and NMR/MRI. In addition, the Baltimore Longitudinal
Study on Aging is centered at the GRC, providing a ready population
suitable for detailed longitudinal investigations.
The appointment will be as a Staff Fellow for US citizens or
as a Visiting Scientist for US non-citizens, and will have a highly
competitive salary. Applicants must have an excellent publication
record demonstrating the potential for developing an independent
research program.
Interested individuals should send or e-mail their CV and the
names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of at least three
references to: Dr. Darrell Abernethy, Chief, Laboratory of Clinical
Investigation, NIH/NIA, GRC 3C-02, 5600 Nathan Shock Drive,
