A newly established laboratory in Sydney, Australia seeks a postdoctoral
associate to pursue studies on biomolecular recognition, especially the
structure, dynamics and interactions of nucleic acids. The position is
initially available for three years, renewed annually, with a suggested
salary in the range $A 37,345-40,087 p.a.
Candidates should have a solid background in hands-on NMR, preferably with
experience in multidimensional biomolecular experiments, although
appropriately-qualified chemists with an interest in moving into biomolecular
work will be considered. Strong computational skills are a bonus. The
associate will work with other members of a small group with active projects
in C-13 relaxation analysis of nucleic acid motions, discovery of new RNA
structures/activities using SELEX methods and analysis of protein/nucleic
acid-ligand interactions. Further projects are under development.
Spectrometer and computational facilities are very good. The lab has major
use of a Bruker DMX-600 equipped with x,y,z gradients, and secondary use of
a Bruker DMX-500 equipped with a z gradient. The two Biochemistry NMR labs
share a small workstation cluster which includes an SGI R8000 Indigo2,
an Indigo2 Extreme, an Indy and two older Personal Irises. These systems
currently run a range of Biosym, Molecular Simulations Inc. and academic
software.
