Postdoctoral Position Available (posted Aug 4, 2008)

A postdoctoral position is available to investigate the structure-function relation in mononuclear molybdenum enzymes using a biomimetic approach. These enzymes are involved in global cycling of C, S, N, and As, and affect human health in myriad of ways. Our semi-synthetic approach involves synthesis of new dithiolene ligands and their complexes, and the interaction of metal complexes with proteins.  With this approach we hope to develop an in-depth understanding of the reactivity of the enzymes.  The position is funded by a grant from the NIH and the offer will be made initially for one year with the possibility for extension for another year.  The Department is well equipped with modern instrumentation such as high field NMR facility, X-ray crystallography facility, mass spectrometric facility and computation facility. The Pittsburgh metro area offers a vibrant scientific community offering additional facility, discussion groups. The city of Pittsburgh is one the most livable cities the country with rich cultural environment. Experience in handling air-sensitive materials is desirable. Interested students should contact Prof. Partha Basu, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA 15282, tel-(412) 396-6345, email basu@duq.edu
