There are three positions open immediately at the Analytical Services and Training Laboratory at the Complex carbohydrate Research Center, University of Georgia.

Two Postdoctoral Research Position in Characterization and NMR

Research Description

The Analytical Service and Training Laboratory (ASTL) at the University of Georgia’s Complex Carbohydrate Research Center is looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our growing team. Our work combines , purification, characterization, 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectrometry tools to elucidate the structure of complex polysaccharides, peptides and glycoproteins from plant, bacteria and animal sources. This position will provide the candidate with the opportunity to collaborate with scientist from universities, research institutes and industry using various analytical techniques for structural characterization. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics or a related discipline. Extensive background in biomolecular NMR or NMR method development is required. Our projects will include using a combination of techniques for isolation and purification of complex glycans prior to characterization by NMR and MS techniques.

Requirements:

• PhD with strong motivation and a background in chemistry, biology or biochemistry or related disciplines

• Minimum of 1-2 years laboratory experience with NMR is desired.

• A team player who thrives to work in a large collaborative scientific environment
