Research Fellow in Biological NMR
[Academic Level B (research-only equiv. to teaching/research Lecturer level)]
As part of a planned upgrade of the University's high-field NMR capabilities,
applications are invited for a Research Fellow position to facilitate the use
of biological NMR within research programs in the ANU. The duties of the
position include advising researchers on appropriate use of NMR techniques for
their biological problems, undertaking research on collaborative projects, and
co-supervising or assisting researchers, including students and postdoctoral
workers. Applicants should have a PhD in biological NMR or cognate
discipline, with experience in 3-D structure solution of proteins or peptides,
or other large biomolecules. Experience in an area of non-structural
biological NMR such as study of ligand binding, transport or metabolism may be
an advantage. Demonstrated interest in the problem-oriented application of NMR
to studying biomolecular and biological systems and success in undertaking
such studies are essential. Ability and willingness to interact with other
researchers and technical staff, and assist researchers in use of NMR
techniques and data analysis are essential. The successful applicant will have
the ability to work efficiently and with initiative, and also possess good oral
and written communication skills. The appointee will have office space and
data processing facilities in the UNMRC, JCSMR and RSBS. The JCSMR will be the
area of primary academic responsibility. The position is available from March
1996 for an initial period of three years with the possibility of extension for a
further two years.
