Postdoctoral position available
A postdoctoral position, initially for one year and may be renewed, is
available in the research group of Dr. Tuck Wong to study the partition,
structure and dynamics of peptides in membrane mimics, and
peptide-macromolecule interactions by combined NMR and molecular
dynamics (MD) simulation in explicit membrane systems. For
representative publications see:
T. Wymore and T. C. Wong, "Molecular Dynamics Study of Substance P
Peptides Partitioned in an Sodium Dodecylsulfate Micelle", Biophysical J.
1999, 76, 1213-1227.
Xinfeng Gao and T. C. Wong, " Studies of the Partitioning and the
Structure of Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) Peptides in Membrane Mimics
by Two-dimensional NMR and Pulsed Field Gradient Diffusion",
Biophysical J. 1998, 74, 1871 - 1888.
Spectrometers at 300 and 500 MHz (Bruker DRX) are available for NMR
studies. A 600 MHz spectrometer is expected to be purchased in the coming
year. MD simulation (using CHARMM and AMBER) is carried out on
supercomputers at the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center.
The starting date is August 1, 2000 or shortly after. Applications are invited
from candidates with a Ph. D. degree and prior experience in
multidimensional NMR and/or molecular dynamics simulation. A candidate
familiar with both aspects of the research is preferred. Please forward your
application (CV/publications and names of 2/3 references) by letter, fax or
e-mail to
