Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

Martin Kirk博士被授予化学博士后研究奖学金。柯克博士在北卡罗来纳大学获得博士学位，师从威廉·哈特菲尔德教授。柯克博士打算在爱德华·所罗门教授的赞助下继续在斯坦福大学进行研究。柯克博士的研究领域将是物理-无机研究，将蛋白质活性位点中的过渡金属离子的活性与其几何和结构联系起来。从长远来看，他将研究与光系统ii中出氧中心相关的仿生锰配合物。他的博士后研究方向是与铁毒素相关的铁硫簇的行为，这将有助于他未来的研究。化学博士后奖学金项目是一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。

Dr. Martin Kirk has been awarded a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Kirk's doctoral degree was from The University of North Carolina under the supervision of Professor William Hatfield. Dr. Kirk intends to continue research at Stanford University under the sponsorship of Professor Edward Solomon. Dr. Kirk's area of research will be physical-inorganic studies which relate the activity of transition metal ions in protein active-sites to their geometry and structure. Long range, he will study biomimetic manganese complexes related to the oxygen-evolving centers in Photosystem-II. His postdoctoral studies on the behavior of iron-sulfur clusters related to ferridoxins will facilitate his future research. The Postdoctoral Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph.D's and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
