A postdoctoral position is immediately open at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM)/USA in the field of
time-resolved macromolecular crystallography, initially for a period of one year, with the option to extend for a
second year. The candidate will work with Marius Schmidt, department of physics, and Andy Pacheco, department of
chemistry and biochemistry.
The main duties will include crystallization of non-heme and heme iron proteins, collection of monochromatic and
polychromatic X-ray data (in house and at the nearby Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory),
and helping to train graduate students in protein crystallographic techniques. Experience with protein handling is
required; skills in computer programming are definitely a plus. Training in time-resolved crystallographic techniques
will be provided.
This is a great opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary environment, at the interface of biology, chemistry and
physics. Candidates with a background in the relevant areas are invited to send an application to either Andy
Pacheco (apacheco@uwm.edu) or Marius Schmidt (m-schmidt@uwm.edu) from whom further information can
also be obtained. Please include in the application a CV, a summary of research experience and interests, and
contact details for three referees.
