Please forward the following job announcement to any interested
applicants:
A postdoctoral position is available for combined work in the
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Unit (Richard Spencer, Chief) and in the
Laboratory of Cardiovascular Sciences (Edward Lakatta, Chief) of the
National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health, located
in Baltimore, Maryland. The work will center on spectroscopic studies of
myocardial metabolism related to i) congestive heart failure and ii) beta
adrenergic stimulation of the heart. Other research opportunities may be
available depending on the interests and background of the successful
candidate.
NMR instrumentation consists of a double-resonance Bruker ABX
1.9T/31 cm Biospec with shielded gradients, and a triple-resonance
wide-bore Bruker DMX 400 Avance system with microimaging and solids
capability.
A background in NMR spectroscopy or imaging is preferred, although
applicants with experience in muscle and cardiac physiology and a strong
desire to learn NMR techniques are also encouraged to apply. The
appointment will be as an IRTA Postdoctoral Fellow for US citizens, or as a
Visiting Fellow for US non-citizens. Accordingly, applicants must have
fewer than five years of postdoctoral experience.
Interested individuals should send their CV and the names,
telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of three references to: Dr.
Richard Spencer, NMR Unit, NIH/NIA, GRC 4D-08, 5600 Nathan Shock Drive,
Baltimore, MD 21224; Tel. 410-558-8226; e-mail: spencer@helix.nih.gov
