Postdoctoral position and Graduate Assistantship

X-ray diffraction and molecular modeling studies on 
polysaccharides

Research involves the determination of the 
three-dimensional structures of industrially
useful polysaccharides. The goal is to examine 
and understand the structure-property relationships
in these macromolecules, and the synergism in mixed 
polysaccharides. The researcher will use x-ray fiber 
diffraction and computer-modeling techniques to solve
the structural problems.

Capabilities supporting these studies include state
of the art magnetic resonance and microscopy.

Postdoctoral candidates must have a Ph.D in Physics, 
Biophysics or a related field with practical knowledge
in x-ray crystallography.

Candidates for Graduate study leading to a Ph.D degree 
must have a high first class, Master's or Baccalaureate
honors, degree in Physical science.
