Dear Colleagues,
Our group has an opening for an NMR spectroscopist. I seek your
assistance in identifying a strong candidate with an interest in
developing and applying state-of-the-art biological NMR methods to
support drug discovery efforts at BMS. Research in the group covers a
broad spectrum of topics, from the three-dimensional structure
determination of protein-ligand complexes to hit identification and
characterization to protein dynamics.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would forward this note to any
potential candidates, who should then apply for the position as
indicated at the end of this e-mail. Thanks in advance.
Bill Metzler
