Now that The RNA Institute is on its way to fruition, as we are in the final planning/drawing of the architectural and engineering, I can return to my research program.
My apologies if you have received more than one copy of this email.
Would you be so kind as to communicate to your group and others that my group has a number of postdoctoral positions available for the determination of RNA, RNA/RNA RNA/protein, and RNA/small molecule interactions by NMR? The areas of research include: control of gene expression in infective diseases (MRSA and HIV); evolution and RNA enzymes; small molecule inhibition of RNA function; RNA modification, its biosynthesis and function.
We have relatively new 500 MHz and 700 MHz instruments, both with cryoprobes. The RNA Institute is receiving a new mass spec [hybrid quadrupole/trap-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance with a 12 Tesla superconducting magnet, electrospray ionization (ESI), electron capture dissociation (ECD), and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD)] and the successful applicants will have the opportunity to expand their technologies on this instrument. The successful applicants will have many opportunities to interact with an RNA research community composed of some 40 major labs in the Albany Capital District alone, learn many biological and structural biology techniques and applications to biology and biomedicine.
Applicants should have had experience in the determination of protein or nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) structures by NMR, and restrained molecular dynamics.
Names and contact information for three or more references
Brief description of their prior and present research, and their hands-on experience with modern 2D and 3D NMR, and molecular dynamics calculations of structure for proteins and/or nucleic acids
Many thanks, and please do visit us, if only at our web site.
Best regards,

post doctoral position
Dear Professors and friends,
Is it much difficult to get a post doctoral position in NMR for the person who have done methodology development in NMR and experiment with small molecules?
