Available NMR instrumentation includes: 1 x 500, 2 x 600, and 1 x 800 MHz Varian NMR spectrometers (http://www1.umn.edu/nmr) and mass spectrometry (http://biosci.cbs.umn.edu/mass_spec/). Candidates with a strong background in NMR are encouraged to apply. This is not a requirement, the studies will provide an opportunity to gain experience in a broad range of methods which includes NMR, mass spectrometry, immunological techniques as well as techniques in protein expression/purification. Experience with computational methods will be given special consideration. The positions are available immediately, the salary competitive and commensurate with experience with a term of 2-3 years. Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae and three letters of reference to: Professor Ian M.
