Description:OVERVIEW:The Department of Molecular Genetics in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto invites applications for the position of Research Associate (Limited Term) to participate in research focused on (i) the development of solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for studies of high molecular weight complexes and liquid-liquid phase separation and (ii) application of the developed methodologies to CAPRIN ‘scaffold’, protein/RNA ‘client’ condensates currently under study in the laboratory.  KEY DUTIES

Candidates require a Ph.D. with research expertise in NMR methods development and application, as well as at least 2-3 years of post-doctoral training. Detailed understanding of pulse sequence coding, quantum mechanics of NMR experiments, and Redfield relaxation theory is required

Experience in assignment of NMR spectra of proteins, and analysis of relaxation data, including CPMG and CEST datasets, is essential. Experience in protein expression and purification is also necessary. Candidates must also be able to prepare manuscripts for submission to peer reviewed publications/journals and in to present findings at meetings and conferences
