1. Junior postdoctoral position<br><br>
</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica">Starting around January 2010, a
junior postdoctoral position, suitable for an individual with no more
than three years post-doctoral experience, will become available in the
Section on Physical Biochemistry, Allen P. Minton, Chief. Base
stipend starts at US$44,000 / yr, with increments for postdoctoral
experience and exceptional qualifications. The initial appointment
is for two years and may be extended by mutual agreement.<br><br>

scientist<br><br>
</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica">Starting around January 2010, a
Visiting Scientist position suitable for a senior researcher on
sabbatical will become available in the Minton laboratory. The
appointment is for up to one year, non-renewable, and carries a stipend
of approximately $70,000 / yr (negotiable). The Visiting Scientist
is expected to participate in and contribute to ongoing research in the
laboratory, experimental and/or theoretical. <br><br>
----------------------<br><br>
Research in the Minton laboratory focuses on experimental
characterization and development of quantitative
statistical-thermodynamic models for the concentration-dependent
physico-chemical properties (stability, reactivity, state of association,
propensity toward aggregation) of proteins and other biological
macromolecules in solutions ranging from low to very high total
concentration of macromolecules. Recent experimental work has
focused on novel applications of static and dynamic light scattering, and
tracer sedimentation equilibrium. Results of these studies are
essential to the understanding and prediction of protein behavior in
physiological fluid media and in pharmaceutical formulations.<br><br>
