A post-doctoral position in neutron powder diffraction is immediately available at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS), Argonne National Laboratory, USA. The successful applicant will participate in on-going scientific programs which include: crystal chemistry and structure-property relationships in ceramic membranes and mixed-conductors, crystallographic and dynamics studies of occluded zeolites - particularly directed at guest-framework interactions, and phase relationships in intermetallic alloys. Other responsibilities may include development of neutron scattering instrumentation - as part of an IPNS initiative, and user support on the General Purpose Powder Diffractometer (GPPD) at IPNS.
A PhD degree awarded within the last three years in a discipline such as materials science, chemistry, or physics is required. Highly desirable is a motivated scientist with a strong background in x-ray or neutron scattering, including familiarity with crystallography, powder diffraction and structure/property relationships.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
A postdoctoral fellowship is available starting immediately in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The Beamer laboratory focuses on understanding proteins relevant to human disease. Current projects include structure/function studies of the human bactericidal/permeability increasing protein that is in clinical trials for treating bacterial infections. This work is funded by a 4-year grant from the NSF. Opportunities for study of related proteins including the cholesteryl ester transfer protein are also avaiable. A strong background in protein crystallography or biophysics is desired. Candidates with training in molecular biology and protein purification with an interest in structural biology are also encouraged to apply. X-ray facilities include an RAXIS IV and 300 mm MAR area detectors, Rigaku RU 200 rotating anode, Osmic focusing optics, and X-stream cryosystem. The newly renovated X-ray lab is maintained by a full-time PhD scientist. The university has recently funded a structural biology facility which will include additional support personnel in computation and crystallition.

Two research positions are available immediately in a new protein crystallography group within the structural biology unit of the department.
The research will be focused on investigating the role of protein
methylation in eukaryotic signal transduction by utilising structural
information.
Applicants should have a PhD with experience in molecular biology or
protein expression and purification. Previous experience in X-ray
crystallography is not essential however general interest and knowledge in
protein structure and function is required.
The appointment will initially be for two years. Starting salary �19,869
(RAIA) scale plus �2,134 London Allowance, depending on age and
experience.
Technical post to maintain/manage X-ray equipment. The work will involve day-to-day maintenance of the X-ray diffraction equipment (MAR Image Plate, Rigaku generator, MSC mirror system and MSC X-stream cryo-cooler), instruction of new users and assistance with protein crystallisation.
Applicants should have a PhD with practical laboratory experience in X-ray crystallography and hands-on knowledge of the equipment.
The appointment will initially be for three years. Starting salary up to �25,452 (RAII scale) plus �2,134 London Allowance, depending on age and experience.
Informal enquires for both positions to Dr. Snezana Djordjevic, email [email protected]
Applications including CV and the names of two referees should be sent to Dr. Snezana Djordjevic, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT.
Closing Date for Applications is 11 February 2000.
A postdoctoral fellowship in neutron and x-ray scattering studies of topical problems in materials physics is offered at McMaster University under the supervision of Prof. B.D. Gaulin. Facilities at McMaster include a modern x-ray scattering laboratory, based on an 18 kW rotating anode generator, as well as an extensive array of sample preparation facilities including a new floating zone image furnace laboratory for large single crystal growth. Areas of current interest include exotic magnetic ground state materials, high temperature superconductivity, and phases and phase transitions in model biological membrane materials. Experience in neutron or x-ray scattering techniques, or single crystal growth is an asset, but is not required. This position is available immediately, but later starting dates can be accomodated. Interested parties should arrange to send their cv, along with the names and contact information of at least two persons familiar with their work, to:
Institutionally funded post-doctoral positions are available immediately in the new structural biology laboratory of Dr. Tina Izard to study several proteins involved in mammalian eye development by X-ray crystallography. The research will involve the cloning, expression, purification, crystallization, and structure determination. The project is in collaboration with Dr. Guillermo Oliver (Department of Genetics).
Applicants should hold a PhD in biochemistry, protein chemistry, molecular biology, or a related field with interest in three-dimensional protein structure and function. Practical experience in protein biochemistry, recombinant protein expression, and molecular biology would be welcome. Familiarity with X-ray diffraction is not required; extensive training will be provided to the successful candidates. The positions will be funded for an initial period of three years with the possibility of an extension.
The Department of Structural Biology has outstanding facilities for molecular biology; protein expression, purification and biochemical characterization; and protein crystallography. Computer and hardware support is provided by a PhD-level X-ray specialist.
