Dear Colleagues,
A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Marius Clore in the Laboratory of Chemical Physics at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Particular emphasis within the lab concerns the study of excited states involved in molecular recognition and fibril assembly using state-of-the-art NMR and EPR spectroscopy. Current focus is on the study of the mechanism of aggregation of huntingtin and the study of various chaperones with anti-aggregation and disaggregation properties. Additional work is also being carried out using time resolved DEER EPR and solid state NMR in combination with sub-millisecond freeze quenching to probe complex transient kinetic pathways involved in molecular recognition.
Some recent papers are listed below.
Applicants should e-mail their interest directly to mariusc@intra.niddk.nih.gov include their CV/bibliography and the names of two references.
