NIH POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE
A second postdoctoral position is available in the NMR Unit of the
National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health, located
in Baltimore, Maryland. Present research includes imaging studies of
connective tissue biophysics (whole cartilage, chondrocytes in culture, and
in vivo cartilage imaging), spectroscopic studies of muscle metabolism
under a variety of pharmacologic and physiologic conditions, and
methodology development in imaging and spectroscopy.
Instrumentation consists of a double-resonance Bruker ABX 1.9T/31
cm Biospec with shielded gradients, and a triple-resonance wide-bore Bruker
AMX 400 with microimaging and solids capability. Upgrade to a DMX system
will occur within the next few months.
A strong background in NMR spectroscopy or imaging is required.
Experience with in vivo experiments and a background in
biochemistry/physiology is preferred. The appointment will be as an IRTA
Postdoctoral Fellow for US citizens, or as a Visiting Fellow for US
non-citizens. Applicants must have fewer than five years of postdoctoral
experience.
Interested individuals should send their CV and the names,
