From: Michael Zuker <ZUKER%NRCVM01.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU> POST-DOC POSTION IN OTTAWA, CANADA DNA/protein sequence analysis I am looking for a Research Associate (what everyone else calls a post-doctoral fellow) for the Biomolecular Modelling Group in the Division of Biological Sciences at the National Research Council of Canada. We are the theoretical component of a protein laboratory which includes molecular genetics, genetic engineering of proteins, and structural analysis of proteins (sequencing, spectroscopy, CD, X-ray crystallography). The emphasis now is on protein structure prediction and the design of modified or novel proteins. Possible areas of research include the automatic alignment of more than two DNA or peptide sequences, RNA secondary structure prediction using minimum energy criteria and phylogeny, and improved methods for predicting protein secondary structure, especially when several homologous sequences are available. I will consider anyone working in molecular sequence analysis. I would prefer someone with at least some formal training in mathematics and who is reasonably self-sufficient in computing. We have an IBM mainframe running VM/CMS and a VAX 11/750 running VMS. Please contact me for further details and for information on how to obtain an official application form. The position is available immediately.
