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）：康涅狄格大学的这项提案寻求资金支持重新开放之前因经济条件而暂停的基于 NMR 的结构生物学广泛领域的教师搜索。预计新聘的教师将针对结构生物学中具有挑战性的重要问题建立世界一流的研究项目。康涅狄格大学为结构生物学提供了高度合作和支持的环境，以促进新兵的专业发展。康涅狄格大学健康中心拥有出色的资源来支持教师招聘，包括 Gregory P. Mullen NMR 结构生物学设施和 MMSB 生物物理核心设施。 NMR 设施运行 400、500,600 和 800 MHz 的 NMR 波谱仪，并在 500,600 和 800 MHz 仪器上配备最先进的低温探头。生物物理核心设施运行圆二色光谱旋光计、多角度光散射仪、差示扫描和等温滴定量热计、蒸气压渗透压计和MALDl-TOF质谱仪。这名新员工将加入康涅狄格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 个学院的结构生物学合作研究和教学。
