A tenure track position is available for an experimental biophysical scientist to establish an independent research program in the Laboratory of Chemical Physics, NIDDK, NIH. All areas of biophysics and biophysical chemistry will be considered for this position. Current research in this Laboratory is primarily concerned with experimental, theoretical and computational problems in the structure, dynamics, and function of biological macromolecules, using techniques that include solution and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Raman and infrared imaging spectroscopies, time-resolved X-ray crystallography and optical spectroscopy, and single molecule spectroscopy. The theoretical and computational studies closely complement the experimental work. Development of fundamental aspects of experimental and theoretical techniques is an active area in the Laboratory.
The Laboratory is located on the main intramural campus of the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. The Principal Investigators in the Laboratory are: Artur Adib, Philip A. Anfinrud, Adriaan Bax, G. Marius Clore, William A. Eaton, Gerhard Hummer, James Hofrichter, Ira W. Levin, Attila Szabo, and Robert Tycko (Scientists Emeritus: Edwin D. Becker and Robert W. Zwanzig).
Interested applicants should send a Curriculum Vitae and list of publications, copies ofselected publications, a summary of research accomplishments, a plan for future research, and three letters of reference by email to eaton@helix.nih.gov or by mail to: Dr. William A. Eaton, Chief, Laboratory of Chemical Physics, Building 5, Room 116, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892-0520. Email is highly preferred. Deadline for receipt of applications is December 1, 2008.
