New faculty recruitment in NMR structural biology

描述(由申请人提供)：康涅狄格大学的这项提案寻求资金，以支持重新开始之前在基于核磁共振的结构生物学广泛领域的教师搜索，该领域因经济条件而暂停。预计这名教师将建立一个世界级的研究项目，研究结构生物学中具有挑战性和重要性的问题。康涅狄格大学为结构生物学提供了一个高度合作和支持的环境，以促进新兵的职业发展。康涅狄格大学健康中心拥有大量资源来支持教师招聘，包括格雷戈里·P·马伦核磁共振结构生物学设施和MMSb生物物理核心设施。核磁共振设施使用400、500、600和800 MHz的核磁共振光谱仪，在500、600和800 MHz的仪器上使用最先进的低温探头。生物物理核心设施操作圆形二向色性光谱偏振仪、多角度光散射仪、差示扫描和等温滴定热量计、蒸汽压渗透计和MALDl-TOF质量光谱仪。这名新人将加入康涅狄格州大学结构生物学卓越合作伙伴关系，该伙伴关系促进两个校区和5所学院在结构生物学方面的合作研究和教学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal from the University of Connecticut seeks funding to support re-opening a previous faculty search in the broad area of NMR-based structural biology that was suspended to to economic conditions. The faculty recruit will be expected to establish a world-class research program on challenging and importan problems in tructural biology. The University of Connecticut provides a highly collegial and supportive environment for structural biology to forter the professional development of the recruit. The University of Connecticut Health Center maintains outstanding resources to support the faculty recruit, including the Gregory P. Mullen NMR Structural Biology Facility and the MMSB Biophysical Core Facility. The NMR Facility operates NMR spectrometers a 400, 500,600, and 800 MHz, with state-of-the-art cryogenic probes on the 500,600, and 800 MHz instruments. The Biophysical Core Facility operates a circular dichroism spectrapolarimeter, a multi-angle light scattering instrument, differential scanning and isothermal titration calorimeters, a vapor pressure osmometer, and a MALDl-TOF mass spetcrometer. The recruit will join the UConn Partnership for Excellence in Structural Biology, which fosters collaborative research and teaching in structural biology across two campuses and 5 colleges.
