Postdoctoral Research Associate
for the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center
Chemical Sciences Division
Center for Structural Molecular Biology
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Project Description:
The Center for Structural Molecular Biology (CSMB) of
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) (http://www.ornl.gov) operates the Biological Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (Bio-SANS) beam
line and user research program at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The CSMB
conducts biological research on the structure, function and dynamics of
macromolecular systems and assemblies, with particular focus and strengths in
using small angle scattering, single crystal and membrane diffraction.
CSMB has an immediate opening for a Post-Doctoral
Fellow within the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center (PARC). PARC explores
basic science research aimed at understanding the principles of the harvesting
of light and funneling of energy as applied to natural photosynthetic, biohybrid
and bio-inspired antenna systems, which gather light and carry it to an
organism's reaction center, where the chemistry that creates energy takes
place. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary research team of
chemists and bio-physicists at the Bio-SANS facility to support and develop
neutron scattering analysis of biological macromolecules. Successful applicants
will be encouraged to develop their own independent and collaborative research.
The post represents an excellent opportunity for a young postdoctoral scientist
to develop his/her expertise, broaden his/her experience and interact with
leading scientists from around the world.
Qualifications:
A Ph.D. completed within the last 5 years in physics,
biophysics, physical chemistry or structural biology is required.
Previous experience in either neutron or X-ray scattering is required.
Candidates with experience in applying small-angle scattering methods to
biological macromolecular complexes are highly encouraged to apply. The
candidate should be self-motivated, have good interpersonal, communication and
presentational skills and demonstrated ability to interact effectively with
staff at all levels and to work within a multi-disciplinary team.
How to Apply:
Qualified applicants may apply online at https://www2.orau.gov/ORNL_POST/. All applicants will need to register before they can begin the online
application. For complete instructions, on how to apply, please see the
instructions at http://www.orau.gov/orise/edu/ornl/ornl_pdpm/application.htm. When corresponding to ORNL regarding this position, please reference
the position title and number.
This appointment is offered through the ORNL
Postdoctoral Research Associates Program and is administered by Oak Ridge
Associated Universities (ORAU). This appointment is open to all qualified U.S.
and non-U.S. citizens without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex,
national origin, physical or mental disability, or status as a Vietnam-era
veteran or disabled veteran.
