Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopist

Indiana University has significantly expanded its NMR capabilities with the installation of 600 and 800 MHz Varian Inova spectrometers in the new METACyt Biomolecular NMR Laboratory in Simon Hall. We now seek to appoint a Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopist at the Assistant Scientist (research-track) level, effective October 1, 2008. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Structural Biology or a related field; two years postdoctoral experience is desired. The successful candidate will have documented experience with the application and optimization of modern biological NMR spectroscopy to structural studies of proteins. Familiarity with aligned systems and nucleic acids is desirable. Experience with the operation and maintenance of high field NMR spectrometers (600 and 800 MHz) and cryogenic probe systems is required, and knowledge of hardware and Unix-based software maintenance is essential. Familiarity with Varian systems and methods of NMR data analysis through structure calculation and validation stages are also desirable but not necessary.

Indiana University
Research Crystallographer

The Indiana University Molecular structure Center (located in the Department of Chemistry) has an opening for a qualified individual experienced with small molecule crystallography beginning September 1, 2008. Candidates must have a PhD in the Physical Sciences. The successful candidate is expected to collaborate with faculty and students in all aspects of crystallographic analysis including data collection; solution, refinement and interpretation of structures; preparation of manuscripts; and user support and training. Experience with instrument maintenance/repair is expected. Knowledge in powder diffraction, information technology, programming as well as teaching and grant writing experience are desirable but not required. The appointment will be made at the Assistant or Associate Scientist level depending on the candidate's qualifications. The IUMSC is a world-class laboratory with modern instruments (three multiple purpose and one powder diffractometers) and excellent support equipment (liquid nitrogen generation, microscopes, etc). The IUMSC is also actively involved in crystallographic informatics projects such as the Reciprocal Net and the Common Instrument Middleware Initiative.
