Norway Postdoc Positions in FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS, BIOMOLECULAR NMR @ NTNU, Trondheim:
FACULTY OF NATURAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY
NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (NTNU)
NO-7491 Trondheim
Norway
The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology (NT) is an international arena for research and education in the natural sciences, environmental science, biotechnology, chemistry, physics, materials and chemical engineering.
About 325 PhD candidates are today enrolled into the eight PhD programme offered by the faculty. We now invite applicants for 39 PhD positions and 3 Post doc positions.
1 POST DOCTORAL POSITION IN BIOMOLECULAR NMR, Ref.nr. NT 83/08
Postdoctoral research associate position is available at the Department of Biotechnology.
The position foresees investigation of biomedically relevant proteins involved in redox regulation of cellar processes as well as other biomedically relevant proteins. The studies may include bioinformatics research aimed at discovery of novel redox-regulated proteins, biochemical analyses of these proteins, biomolecular NMR investigations (structural and dynamic) and elucidation of interactions of relevant proteins by NMR spectroscopy. The NMR center of the NTNU is equipped with Bruker 300 MHz, 400 MHz and 600 MHz spectrometers. The latter spectrometer is equipped with a cryoprobe. The Department of Biotechnology also has excellent instrumentation for bioinformatics, molecular biology and biochemical research.
Requirements
a) Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Structural Biology or related fields.
b) Advantage will be given to applicants with experience in high resolution heteronuclear NMR of proteins in solution supplemented by experience with programming, bioinformatics, molecular biology and protein chemistry. Experience in work with Bruker spectrometers as well as with CARA/CYANA software packages is preferred.
c) We seek a self motivated person, a hard worker with good organizational skills and a team player.
For further information about the position please contact Associate Proefessor Alexander Dikiy, e-mail: Alex.dikiy@biotech.ntnu.no , phone: +47 73 59 78 63

1 POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS (FUGE)
Ref.nr. NT 84/08
The positions will be available to outstanding candidates associated with successful research groups within functional genomics at NTNU.
Landmark technology has made it possible to study tens of thousands of genes and proteins simultaneously. Functional genomics makes use of this technology to study the function of specific genes, their protein products and how they affect each other. Functional genomics will be of significance to society, industry and commerce in the future. For more information about FUGE in Mid-Norway please see http://www.ntnu.no/forskning/fuge.
The aim of the postdoctoral project is to support a promising candidate
who has recently defended his/her PhD thesis. This type of funding is meant to develop the candidate’s competence in her/his prioritized area, and is to qualify the candidate for future advancement in academia.
Conditions for the postdoctoral position:
• The applicant must have established or agreed on collaboration with a relevant research group at NTNU. Hence, interested candidates are requested to contact research groups at NTNU for assistance in applying.
• In the evaluation process, the quality of the candidate as reflected by his/her PhD thesis and the quality of the proposed project will be given equal weights.
• Applicants who already have been employed as a postdoctoral fellow at NTNU will not be considered for the position.
• Applicants for the postdoctoral positions must hold a PhD. If a PhD has not been assigned at the time of application it will be required of the applicant to show that the PhD degree has been registered and that the thesis is submitted for evaluation by 1 April 2009.
• The position must commence no later than 1 July 2009.
• Research groups supporting several postdoctoral applications will be asked to rank the candidates in order of preference.
For further information on how to apply and requirements for the application, please see full announcement at http://www.ntnu.no/research/fuge/announcements,
or
contact FUGE Midt-Norge coordinator, Janne Østvang, e-mail: janneos@nt.ntnu.no , phone +47 73 59 60 64.
General information for the postdoc postions:
Potential candidates must contact possible supervisors at the Department with the intention to work out a short research proposal, which should be included in the application. A brief outline of the project, signed by both the applicant and his/her prospective supervisor (faculty member in that research group) should be included with the application.
The appointment of the postdoc fellow will be made according to national guidelines for appointment of postdoc fellows at universities and university colleges.
Post doc fellowships at NTNU are awarded for a period of 2 years and are placed in salary code 1352, level 57, on the Norwegian government pay scale, NOK 435.500 per year (before tax).
