Dear AMMRL members,
We have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow in our lab in
Baltimore to fill immediately. We would appreciate if you could show
the following advertisement to any interested candidates.
Best regards,

NIH POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE: CARTILAGE MRI
A postdoctoral position is available in the Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance Unit (Richard Spencer, 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 upon the interests and background of the successful
candidate.
MRI instrumentation consists of a triple-resonance vertical
wide-bore Bruker DMX 400 Avance system with microimaging and solids
capability, a double-resonance Bruker 7T/30 cm DBX system, and a
double-resonance Bruker ABX 1.9T/31 cm Biospec. In addition, a 3T
whole-body system is expected to be installed by early 2005.
A background in MRI imaging or NMR spectroscopy of connective
tissue is preferred, although applicants with expertise in cartilage
biology who have the desire to learn MRI techniques are also strongly
encouraged to apply. We also invite applications from individuals
with experience in other areas of biological MRI and NMR. The
appointment will be as an IRTA Postdoctoral Fellow for US citizens,
or as a Visiting Fellow for non-citizens. Accordingly, applicants
must have fewer than five years of postdoctoral experience.
Interested individuals should e-mail their CV and the names,
telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of at least three references
