A postdoctoral position is available immediately for an investigator to use single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, including synchrotron radiation and MAD phasing, to investigate the structures of enzymes. Experience in protein production and purification, as well as crystal growth of native enzymes, enzyme/substrate complexes, enzyme/inhibitor complexes, and mutants is highly desirable. Knowledge of crystallographic techniques including data processing, phase determination and improvement, model building, and protein structure refinement is essential. Current goals of the lab include structure-based drug design, elucidation of catalytic mechanisms, evolution of protein function, evolution of biosynthetic pathways and application of synchrotron radiation to protein crystallography. Specific projects include enzymes of purine and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, enzymes of cofactor biosynthesis, and polyamine biosynthesis.
A recent PhD in chemistry,
biochemistry, biophysics, or a closely related field is required. Salary
will be commensurate with qualification and experience. The initial
appointment will be for one year, with a possible extension for two
additional years. Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled. The candidate should forward a cover letter with curriculum vita,
copies of relevant publications, and contact information for three
references to Prof. Steven E. Ealick ([email protected]; Baker Laboratory,
Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY,
14853-1301 USA;

Victoria University is seeking expressions of interest from women professors in the fields of engineering and/or science to take up appointments as Visiting Professors for a period of up to 12 months.
The Program is aimed at bringing into each Faculty in the University an experienced women Professor from another university in Australia or overseas, for a period of one year on a secondment or a sabbatical appointment. The appointees will be required, in addition to undertaking research and teaching, to contribute to Department/School/Faculty and University level operations. They will be asked to act as a role model and also to provide to the Director of Affirmative Action at the conclusion of their appointment a brief, critical and constructive report on which the University can base further supportive activity for its female academic staff.
The prospective appointee will be offered a one-year appointment as a Visiting Professor in the University. The offer will include remuneration or recompense to their home institution, relocation costs and some research funding assistance; the actual offer will be individualised by the Dean in consultation with the DVC (Higher Education).
The Faculty of Engineering and Science has approximately 200 effective full-time staff of which approximately 40 are female located across three campuses. It comprises three schools; Built Environment, Communications and Infomatics and Life Sciences and Technology. In addition it has four Centres; Australian Food Marketing Centre, Centre for Bioprocessing and Food Technology, Centre for Environmental and Risk Engineering and the Centre for Packaging, Transportation and Storage.
In 1999 the Faculty enrolled 2448 full-time equivalent students including 2144 in undergraduate programs, 185 in postgraduate coursework programs and 119 in postgraduate research programs. As well the Faculty had 320 full-time equivalent students enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Hong Kong. In addition the Faculty has 157 full fee paying overseas students enrolled on shore.
I would be interested in gauging your availability and interest in such a position and would welcome any questions or comments you would like to make in regard to the Program. It is hoped that successful appointees would take up their position in the latter part of 2000 although this is negotiable.

wo postdoctoral positions in protein crystallography are available immediately to study the structure and function of motor proteins, enzymes involved in cobalamin biosynthesis, antibiotic biosynthesis, and the structural basis of enzyme evolution. Good crystals and excellent expression systems are available for all of these projects. In addition outstanding collaborative opportunities exist to participate in other ongoing projects at the University of Wisconsin. The work may involve any aspect of protein purification, mutagenesis, crystal growth, data collection, model building and refinement. Excellent new research facilities will be available for these studies in the Department of Biochemistry. Applicants with experience in any aspect macromolecular crystallography, molecular biology, or protein biochemistry will be considered. Salary will be commensurate with experience. The University of Wisconsin is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
Environment:
The University of Wisconsin at Madison is situated on 908 acres of land on the shore of Lake Mendota within one mile of the center of the city center. Madison is a pleasant place to live offering a high standard of living at a moderate cost. It is built around four lakes with its capitol building located at the heart of the city on an isthmus between the two largest lakes. The city is only 77 miles from Milwaukee, 146 miles from Chicago and 258 miles from Minneapolis. There are plenty of things to do outside the lab including sailing, fishing and cycling in the summer and ice-skating, ice-boating and cross country skiing in the winter.
Interested individuals should send their curriculum vitae and three letters of recommendation to:
