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.

描述（由申请人提供）：康涅狄格大学的这一提案旨在提供资金，以支持重新开放以前在基于NMR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。教师招聘将有望建立一个世界级的研究计划，在结构生物学的挑战性和重要的问题。康涅狄格大学为结构生物学提供了一个高度学院化和支持性的环境，以促进新兵的专业发展。康涅狄格州健康中心的大学保持优秀的资源，以支持教师招聘，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。NMR Facility操作400、500、600和800 MHz的NMR光谱仪，在500、600和800 MHz仪器上配有最先进的低温探头。生物物理核心设施操作圆二色性分光光度计、多角度光散射仪器、差示扫描和等温滴定量热仪、蒸气压渗透压计和MALDI-TOF质谱计。该招聘将加入康州大学结构生物学卓越合作伙伴关系，该合作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。
