A postdoctoral position is available at the University of Canterbury
Biomedical Research Centre in association with the Department of Chemistry.
The successful candidate will be involved in developing the use of a new
Varian INOVA 500 facility for a range of projects requiring peptide and
protein NMR studies. A person with a high degree of investigative and
interpretative skills is required and it is expected that the successful
candidate will have suitable doctoral or postdoctoral experience in this
area.
The person appointed will be encouraged to develop new NMR and other
experimental methodologies appropriate to one or more of the projects being
undertaken by several collaborative groups in the Biomedical Research
Centre. Current projects include studies of kosmotrope/protein
interactions, the chemistry of the Maillard reaction,
peptidomimetic/protein interactions and drug attachment to protein
carriers. Some experience with organic synthesis and combinatorial
chemistry would be an advantage but is not essential. In addition, the
Fellow will have an exciting opportunity to be involved in the development
of the recently established Canterbury Biomedical Research Centre.
The appointment is for up to 2 years, with a remuneration of NZ$44,000 per
annum plus some relocation expenses. It is expected that an appointment
will be made by 1 January 2000, with a commencement date not later than 31
March 2000. Applications should contain a covering letter, a curriculum
vitae, the names of three persons who could be asked for references, and a
proposed starting date. Information on the University of Canterbury, the
Department of Chemistry and the Biomedical Research Centre is available at
http://www.canterbury.ac.nz. Further information about this position may be
obtained from a.abell@chem.canterbury.ac.nz (director BMEDC) or
j.blunt@chem.canterbury.ac.nz.
Applications, quoting Vacancy No CH71, should be forwarded by the closing
date of 26 November 1999 to:
