Post-doc in computational biomolecular NMR
===================================

Description of the Faculty / Research group
----------------------------------------------------------
The new Faculty of Science consists of six departments: Biology,
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics
and Astronomy, Mathematics and Chemistry. The Faculty is home to 3500
students and nearly 2000 staff and is internationally renowned for
the quality of its research.

The NMR Research Group (http://www.nmr.chem.uu.nl), headed by Prof.
R. Boelens, is part of the Chemistry Department (http://
www.chem.uu.nl) and belongs to the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular
Research (http://www.bijvoet-center.nl). The research within the NMR
group is focused on the structure determination of proteins and
protein complexes by high-resolution NMR spectroscopy and bio-
computational modelling. The group has strong research lines on
protein-DNA and protein-protein complexes in transcription and DNA
repair and modelling of bio-molecular complexes. The NMR Research
group also belongs to the European NMR Research Infrastructures
(www.eu-nmr.eu), providing experimental NMR access to European groups.

We are searching for a researcher (post-doc) in computational
biomolecular NMR.

Job description
---------------------
You will be part of a European team working toward the deployment and
unification of the NMR computational infrastructure in system
biology, a project funded under the 7th framework programme of the
European Union (Contract no. 213010 – eNMR).
NMR plays an important role in life sciences (bio-NMR), and
structural biology in particular, at both European and international
levels. The main objective of this project is to optimize and extend
the use of the NMR Research Infrastructures of EU-NMR through the
implementation of an e-Infrastructure in order to provide the
European bio-NMR user community with a platform integrating and
streamlining the computational approaches necessary for bio-NMR data
analysis (e-NMR). The e-NMR infrastructure will be based on the Grid
infrastructure.
For this, you will work on the development of a uniformed and
integrated e-NMR platform that will form the core of the e-NMR
infrastructure. The work will be carried in close collaboration with
our European partners.

Qualifications
-------------------
You should have a Ph.D. degree in chemistry, physics, bioinformatics,
computational biology or a related field. You should possess a strong
research background in the  computational aspects of biomolecular NMR
and structure calculations,  experience with Linux and programming
skills, and are expected to show initiative and be able to work
independently.

Terms of employment
------------------------------
We offer initially a position for two years with a possible extension
by one year.  Salary is dependent on qualifications and experience
and ranges from €2740.- to €3597.- gross per month (salary scale 10).
The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% per year and a
year-end bonus of 3% per year. We also offer a pension scheme.
Employment conditions are according to the Collective Labour
Agreement of Dutch Universities.
