8th Annual VIVA NMR Symposium

Dear NMR Enthusiasts and Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the 8th VIVA (VIctoria VAncouver) NMR symposium is to take place at St. Johns College, UBC, Friday, August 8th, 2014.

The scope of this one day symposium is to bring together NMR users, researchers and managers from western Canada and the north-west of the USA to share information on topics of general NMR interest and to foster the development of NMR community. Talks or poster presentations by graduate students working in any aspects of NMR are especially encouraged. Deadline for registration is July 25th.

Further details and registration info are available at http://groups.chem.ubc.ca/viva

I am looking forward to welcoming you at VIVA.

Sincerely,

Paul

Graduate student position, the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario

We are seeking highly motivated PhD students to work in the protein NMR group at the University of Guelph. Our group is broadly interested in membrane protein structure. Our main research tool is magic angle spinning solid state NMR, but we also used other complementary biochemical, biophysical and computational methods. The research will be conducted at the University of Guelph NMR Centre, which is equipped with an array of solid-state NMR spectrometers at field strengths from 500 MHz to 800 MHz, and with a recently installed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization spectrometer. This gives us the unique ability to probe atomic level details of molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions. The specific project will deal with protein-lipid and protein-water interactions, with emphasis on the methodological aspect.

For examples of our work, see our recent publications:http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v10/n10/full/nmeth.2635.html
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja411633w

The candidates must have a degree in chemistry, physics or biochemistry.

Applications are accepted to both, the Department of Physics

Postdoctoral position in solid-state NMR of pharmaceuticals University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario

A PDF position is available in the Schurko group at the University of Windsor with starting dates between May 2014 - September 2014. The PDF will be in charge of conducting research and managing a project area involving SSNMR of pharmaceutical compounds, related materials and nanoparticles. We are equipped with 400 MHz and 500 MHz SSNMR spectrometers, pXRD and scXRD equipment, wet lab spaces (including glove boxes) and fantastic shared computational resources. We also have access to high field (800, 900 MHz) NMR spectrometers. The PDF candidate should have extensive background in solid-state NMR. The position starts with a one-year contract, with option to extend to second and third years via mutual agreement of the PDF and the PI.
