Dear Colleagues, two post-doc positions are immediately available at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the departments of physics and chemistry/biochemistry. Please forward this text to interested candidates.
With best regards Marius Schmidt Position 1 A postdoctoral position is immediately open at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM)/USA in the field of time-resolved macromolecular crystallography, initially for a period of one year, with the option to extend for a second year. The candidate will work with Marius Schmidt, department of physics, and Andy Pacheco, department of chemistry and biochemistry. The main duties will include crystallization of non-heme and heme iron proteins, collection of monochromatic and polychromatic X-ray data (in house and at the nearby Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory), and helping to train graduate students in protein crystallographic techniques. Experience with protein handling is required; skills in computer programming are definitely a plus. Training in time-resolved crystallographic techniques will be provided. This is a great opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary environment, at the interface of biology, chemistry and physics. Candidates with a background in the relevant areas are invited to send an application to either Andy Pacheco ([email protected]) or Marius Schmidt ([email protected]) from whom further information can also be obtained. Please include in the application a CV, a summary of research experience and interests, and contact details for three referees. Position 2 A postdoctoral position is immediately open at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM)/USA for a synthetic organic or inorganic chemist with experience in photochemistry, initially for a period of one year, with the option to extend for a second year. The candidate will work with Marius Schmidt, department of physics, and Andy Pacheco, department of chemistry and biochemistry. The focus of the project will be to synthesize and characterize novel photoactive compounds for use in time-resolved macromolecular crystallography. Experience with laser photochemistry is desirable but not required. This is a great opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary environment, at the interface of biology, chemistry and physics. Candidates with a background in the relevant areas are invited to send an application to either Andy Pacheco ([email protected]) or Marius Schmidt ([email protected]) from whom further information can also be obtained. Please include in the application a CV, a summary of research experience and interests, and contact details for three referees. Dr.habil. Marius Schmidt Asst.
