A POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITION in Computational Macromolecular
Crystallography is available immediately
to study the protein
crystallographic phase problem, in particular, to develop new methods for
protein phase improvement by exploiting new features of electron density
map. Our lab is also interested in structural studies of apoptosis and
protein folding.
Please visit our lab Web site,
http://squash.fhcrc.org/,
for details of this project and other research in our lab. Candidates should
have strong background in crystallographic computing and some experience in
protein crystallography. However, candidates with training in experimental
protein crystallography and interested in crystallographic computing are
welcome to apply. Candidates with strong background in computation and
interested in solving crystallographic problems are also welcome to apply.
There are five Structural Biology groups at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center, which provide an extremely interactive environment.
State-of-the-art X-ray equipment, computing and graphics facilities are
available in the lab. Ample shared facilities are also available at the new
Weintraub Research Laboratories Building on the picturesque Lake Union
campus.
Please send curriculum vitae and names of three references to:

INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS:
Neural networks, databases and datamining
Applications are invited for a special industrially-funded post-doctoral
research fellowship to work on the development and implementation of
smart
data analysis methods (neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.) for
rapid
materials characterisation and performance prediction. The project,
which
also involves database design and construction, is part of a large and
novel international collaborative effort in high throughput measurement
technology, and will involve close interaction with experimentalists.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in physics, chemistry, applied
mathematics, computer science or engineering. The position is available
to start after 1 March 2000
for one year in the first instance, but with
the
possibility of renewal for a second year. Salary will be �22,945,
inclusive
of London allowance, with a bonus payable on completion of the project.

Applications are invited for a Computational Molecular Biology Specialist to join the Institute's Computing/Bioinformatics service. The successful applicant will be responsible for providing high level scientific and technical support to end-users in this specialised area. A particular requirement is that of advising users (both formally and informally) on ways they can obtain maximum benefit from sequence analysis software. The successful applicant will be expected to proactively develop the service to ensure that JIC scientists continue to have access to state of the art facilities.
The postholder must be able to deal effectively with end-users, and be able to work quickly and with the minimum of supervision in a busy working environment.
The successful candidate should have a degree in an appropriate subject, a PhD would be desirable and be able to demonstrate 3 to 6 or more years of practical experience in relevant areas.
Salary on appointment will be within the range �21,800 to �31,500 per annum depending on qualifications and relevant experience. Staff have the opportunity to join a non-contributory superannuation scheme. Other benefits include 25 days annual leave and 10.5 public holidays per year plus free use of on site recreation facilities.
