POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE
FOR
PROTEIN NMR SPECTROSCOPIST
A post-doctoral position is available starting January 1,1996
in the Laboratory of Structural Biology at the Walt Disney
Memorial Cancer Institute (WDMCI) at Florida Hospital, a
not-for-profit 1500-bed acute care research hospital in
Orlando, Florida. Research in the Laboratory of Structural
Biology is focused on the development of new anti-cancer agents
through the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and computer
modeling. Specific areas of interest include: (1) Structure-
function relationships in proteins involved in blood coagulation
and fibrinolysis; (2) Structure-function relationships in
chemokines; (3) Effects of anti-cancer drugs on DNA-protein
interactions.
Candidates for postdoctoral fellows must have a Ph.D. degree in
Chemistry or Biochemistry and have demonstrated experience in NMR
spectroscopy and its use in protein structure determination.
Experience with isotopically-labeled proteins, pulse sequence
design, and/or molecular biology (PCR, cloning, protein over-
expression/purification) is also desirable, but optional. Salary
rate is negotiable and will be set commensurate with experience.
The Laboratory of Structural Biology is located in a new 16,000 sq.
ft. research facility that houses the Cancer Research Division of
the WDMCI. Our laboratory has exclusive use of a Varian UnityPlus
600 MHz spectrometer with triple resonance and gradient capabilities
and several SUN and SGI workstations. The Cancer Research Division
also has excellent facilities for cellular and molecular biology,
tissue culture, and protein chemistry. WDMCI is affiliated with the
University of Central Florida, a 25,000-student research university
located 2 minutes away.
