Summer 2012

Fall 2012

Postdoctoral Position Available in Biological Solid-State NMR

Postdoctoral positions are available in membrane protein and biomolecular solid-state NMR in the laboratory of Mei Hong at Iowa State University. We seek enthusiastic and motivated researchers with research experience in solid-state NMR or protein solution NMR. Familiarity with protein biochemistry or membrane biophysics is desirable. The laboratory has full use of a 400 MHz solid-state NMR and significant access to 600 MHz and 700 MHz solid-state NMR spectrometers. Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae (including a list of publications), a past research description (no more than one page), and the names and contact information of three references to Mei Hong, mhong@iastate.edu at the Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011.
